Q And Z Alpacas

Q And Z Alpacas alpacas in Erda, UT graze on gently rolling fields in Tooele County and the Great Salt Lake Desert near Salt Lake City. Run by Christina Oppenheimer, the farm has been part of the local community for over five years and holds active membership in the Alpaca Owners Association with routine health screenings. Young crias are raised alongside adult guard animals and experience daily handling, early pasture exposure and natural social bonds.

At their home barn, each alpaca enjoys spacious stalls, predator-safe fencing and balanced diets of hay and supplements measured to individual needs. Fleece is sheared in spring, skirted on site and graded according to industry standards. Many visitors note the calm demeanor of the herd and appreciate the farm’s relaxed pace and focus on animal welfare. The herd includes multiple color varieties, with fleeces suited for hand spinners and small-scale mills alike.
