Montrose Farms Alpaca Ranch

Montrose Farms Alpaca Ranch, alpacas in Brownsburg, Indiana, is located in central Indiana near Indianapolis. Chris Lovely has raised alpacas for several years, following industry recommendations for health testing and routine veterinary care to maintain herd well-being. Animals graze on well-maintained pasture with year-round shelter, and they spend time with handlers from a young age to encourage gentle interaction and social development.

The ranch emphasizes fleece quality suited to artisanal fiber projects and alpacas known for calm temperaments. Visitors can observe animals in a variety of settings, from open fields to shaded paddocks, which promote natural behaviors. Composting manure and rotating grazing areas are part of a simple land stewardship practice that supports soil health.

Montrose Farms began as a small hobby herd and has grown with a focus on balanced nutrition and respectful animal husbandry. Seasonal shearing in spring and fall health checks keep the alpacas comfortable and support consistent fiber quality.
