Long Hollow Suri Alpacas

Long Hollow Suri Alpacas, alpacas, Gallatin, TN, is located in Sumner County near Nashville. Karl Heinrich has been raising Suri alpacas for several years and maintains membership in the Alpaca Owners Association. All animals receive routine health checks from a licensed veterinarian and follow a vaccination schedule.

The herd grazes on open pasture with sturdy shelters and daily enrichment to support social behavior and fiber development. Their Suri alpacas are valued for their silky fleece, which local spinners find well suited for handcraft projects. Daily interactions and early handling help the animals develop a gentle temperament, reflecting the farm’s commitment to animal welfare. Breeding decisions prioritize calm dispositions, conformation and fleece density to support both fiber production and easy handling, and fleeces are skirted on site to ensure consistent quality for fiber artisans. The farm uses rotational grazing to maintain pasture health and reduce parasite risk.
