Flatland Ranch

Flatland Ranch, alpacas, Rose Hill, KS, is nestled in the Flint Hills near Wichita. They have been breeding alpacas for several years, register their herd with national alpaca associations and follow recommended health screenings. Animals are raised on pasture with daily handling, early socialization and seasonal rotations among shaded grazing areas. The ranch philosophy emphasizes low-stress management and gentle training to ensure calm temperaments.

Owners Dian Trainer and Steve Trainer focus on producing soft, resilient fleece and share their knowledge with farm visitors and fiber artisans. Flatland Ranch supports sustainable practices such as rotational grazing and natural feed supplements to promote herd health. Reviews highlight the trainers’ attention to detail and the friendly disposition of the alpacas. Seasonal shearing yields high-grade fiber suited to knitting, weaving and doll wool crafts, and the farm welcomes small tour groups by appointment for hands-on learning about fleece processing and alpaca care.
