Red River Alpacas

Red River Alpacas is an alpaca breeder in Whitesboro, TX, serving North Texas near Sherman. The farm is committed to ethical breeding and maintains membership in national alpaca associations while performing regular health screenings to ensure fiber quality. Its alpacas graze on spacious, rotational pastures with native grasses, receive daily hands-on socialization from the family, and rest in climate-controlled shelters designed for comfort and seasonal changes.

Founded by Nadine Joaquin, the operation draws on generations of farm experience. The lineage of the herd includes animals selected for dense fleece and stable temperaments that appeal to fiber enthusiasts. The site includes a small-scale fiber processing area, supporting crafters who value traceability from herd to yarn. Annual shearing takes place each spring with gentle handling to minimize stress and preserve fleece integrity. The business balances traditional farm values with attention to animal well-being, aiming to support both the alpacas and the local fiber community.
