Irish Meadows Alpaca Farm

Irish Meadows Alpaca Farm raises huacaya alpacas in La Motte, Iowa, a rural corner of Jackson County set among rolling hills and limestone bluffs not far from the Mississippi River Valley. Mike and Julie Delaney established the farm in 2004 on a historic 1850s farmstead, and the property's red barns and grassy meadows have been home to their herd ever since.

The program specializes in colored Peruvian and Accoyo huacaya genetics, with a deliberate focus on show-winning bloodlines. That approach has produced measurable results on the national stage: Irish Meadows earned the Futurity Small Breeder of the Year award in both 2011 and 2012, then grew into Medium Breeder of the Year honors in 2013 and 2014, followed by Reserve Medium Breeder of the Year recognition each year from 2015 through 2018. The farm's herdsires include multiple champion males whose offspring have regularly placed in banner rows at alpaca shows across the country.

Buyers looking for alpacas for sale in Iowa from a show-proven program have drawn from this herd from across the United States. The farm's approach centers on continually sourcing genetics that strengthen the foundation herd rather than holding steady with existing animals — a philosophy that has shaped the character of Irish Meadows alpacas over more than two decades.
