Rockford Bay Ranch

Rockford Bay Ranch alpacas in Coeur d’Alene, ID, serve Kootenai County and the Idaho panhandle near Spokane. The Dan Family has been breeding alpacas for several years as members of the Alpaca Owners Association and maintains routine health checks and fleece quality evaluations. Its herd lives on open pasture with customized shelters, ensuring daily turnout, gentle handling, and early socialization from cria stage.

Rocky, the ranch’s foundation sire, and a line of proven dams contribute to a tight-knit flock known for soft fleece. Visitors often note the ranch’s relaxed pace and the Dan Family’s willingness to share fiber processing insights during farm gatherings. Annual micron testing and third-party lab analysis help maintain consistent fiber density and handle. Each fall, their fleece features in regional artisan markets where local spinners and weavers can examine staple length and luster. The ranch embraces sustainable pastures to support animal well-being and environmental balance.
