Jefferson Farms Alpacas & Paco Vicuã±As

Jefferson Farms Alpacas & Paco Vicuñas is a miniature Hereford cattle breeder in Salida, CO, Chaffee County near Colorado Springs. It follows breed association guidelines and participates in regional cattle network events to stay informed on breeding research. The farm maintains routine health screenings and nutrition protocols, with calves tested for common cattle health markers and adults monitored for reproductive health. Cattle graze on open pasture with shelters provided during winter months and shaded loafing areas in summer, and calves receive daily handling for early socialization.

Fencing is designed for low-stress movement, and herds rotate to fresh paddocks to preserve forage quality and encourage natural grazing patterns. Their self-sustaining pasture rotation helps maintain herd health through seasonal change. The herd is noted for calm temperament and adaptability to small acreage. Arthur E. Levene has overseen operations for years, focusing on strong foundation stock and transparent breeding records.
