Northern Prairie Alpacas, LLC

Northern Prairie Alpacas, LLC raises alpacas in Sullivan, MO, serving Franklin County and the Ozark Highlands near St. Louis. The farm has been part of the local community for more than a decade and holds membership in the Alpaca Owners Association, with annual health and fleece testing for every animal.

Each alpaca lives in pasture-based paddocks with shelter and receives daily socialization to support gentle temperaments ideal for small-scale fiber operations. Breeding selections focus on consistency in fleece density and character, and fiber is processed on-site by hand to preserve natural qualities. The family-run setting under owner Deb Wellinghoff combines hands-on care with open barn visits for educational workshops on alpaca husbandry.

The herd includes a variety of huacaya colors, chosen for strong crimp and luster. Buyers receive detailed fiber profiles and guidance on fleece handling drawn from the farm’s years of experience.
