Magajupa Mine Alpacas

Magajupa Mine Alpacas, alpacas in Joplin, MO, serve southwestern Missouri near Springfield. Anne Shaffer and Daryel Shaffer have over ten years of experience breeding healthy, well-socialized alpacas. They are members of the Alpaca Owners Association and follow recommended health tests for crias and adults to ensure genetic soundness. Animals live in pasture-based herds with daily handling from birth to encourage a calm temperament.

On their farm, alpacas roam freely across fenced pastures. Their approach emphasizes natural fleece quality through seasonal shearing and hands-on care, with regular veterinary checkups and shaded shelters supporting overall health. Visitors describe a peaceful farm setting, thoughtful guidance during visits, and an approachable atmosphere that reflects the breeders’ passion for alpaca care. Magajupa Mine Alpacas also offers insights on fiber processing methods for new owners, and this balance of quality breeding and genuine animal welfare has earned consistent praise from local alpaca enthusiasts.
