Shady Alpaca Ranch

Shady Alpaca Ranch is an alpaca breeder in Colville, WA, Stevens County and the Spokane area. Owner Justina Dumont brings years of hands-on experience and expertise in sustainable pasture management to day-to-day operations. The ranch follows industry health standards, with routine vaccinations, dental exams and fleece quality assessments overseen by a local veterinarian.

Herds graze in rolling pastures and enjoy heated shelters during colder months, while young alpacas receive daily handling to foster calm temperaments. Balanced genetics are selected for soft, dense fleece, and the ranch regularly submits fiber samples to regional shows. Visitors observe a community-oriented farm where heritage fencing and rotational grazing support both alpaca welfare and land health. Small herd sizes allow each alpaca to receive individualized care and socialization from birth. Producing fleece suited to artisan spinning, the ranch builds relationships with local fiber craftspeople.
