Blue Ridge Alpaca Ranch, LLC

Blue Ridge Alpaca Ranch, LLC is an alpaca breeder in Coon Valley, Wisconsin, serving the Driftless Area near La Crosse. Owners Bill Weber and Brenda Weber have spent over a decade caring for alpaca and follow industry best practices for health testing, record keeping and pedigree verification. Their approach combines daily pasture turnout with gentle handling from birth to foster calm temperaments and strong social bonds across the herd.

The ranch’s hilltop pastures and well-ventilated barns support natural grazing patterns while allowing close oversight during seasonal changes and shearing cycles. Owners also conduct regular nutritional reviews with regional veterinarians and supplement diets with locally sourced hay to maintain optimal fleece quality. Visitors often comment on the ranch’s relaxed atmosphere and the consistency of fleece across a spectrum of natural colors suited to knitting, spinning and weaving projects.

The Webers view each alpaca as an individual and prioritize long-term herd health over rapid expansion.
