Colonial Alpacas

Colonial Alpacas breeds alpacas in Williamstown, MA, Berkshire County near Albany. Dell Rodman has cared for alpacas for over a decade, following guidelines of the Alpaca Owners Association and arranging regular veterinary screenings, parasite control, and fleece evaluations. Breeding selections focus on temperament and fiber density, with each alpaca registered through a national registry to maintain clear pedigrees. Animals graze on rotational pastures and spend time in communal pens to encourage gentle herd-based interactions, with dedicated shelters for seasonal comfort.

The farmstead rests on family land dating to the early 20th century, offering a serene backdrop for daily husbandry routines. The property includes a fleece processing barn and climate-controlled pens for newborn crias. Fiber is skirted and graded on-site then sold in small batches to local artisans for weaving and felting. Visitors note the calm disposition of the animals and the transparent practices that underpin the breeding program.
