Circle W Farms

Circle W Farms, alpacas, Julian, NC, operates in the Piedmont Triad near Greensboro. Terry Wiederholt follows comprehensive health testing protocols and registers animals with national alpaca associations. The herd grazes on spacious pastures equipped with sturdy shelters, and individuals are introduced early to people to encourage calm, trusting temperaments.

Fiber is shorn annually and processed on site using sustainable methods that highlight softness and resilience. Rotational grazing and gentle handling reflect long-term stewardship of the land and animals at this family farm. Seasonal weather changes are embraced through tailored shelter arrangements, ensuring alpacas are comfortable year-round while the farm’s layout on gently rolling hills provides varied terrain for the herd and enhances the quality of the fiber.

Careful record keeping of lineage and fleece characteristics underpins breeding decisions and gives buyers confidence in the traceability and quality of each animal. Terry shares insights on fleece care and alpaca behavior at local workshops and farm gatherings throughout the year.
