Animals graze on rotational pastures with access to shelter and fresh water year-round, and daily handling supports gentle temperaments and easy halter training. During colder months the herd receives supplemental hay and mineral blends to maintain optimal condition prior to shearing. The farm adheres to sustainable practices such as composting manure and rotating paddocks to support pasture vitality. Their breeding program focuses on fleece density and staple length, backed by quarterly fiber assessments to guide pairing decisions. Visitors note the calm, curious personalities of the alpacas during farm tours by appointment and appreciate the clean, safe layout of barn and paddock areas.
