Sierra Prometida Alpaca Ranch

Sierra Prometida Alpaca Ranch is an alpaca breeder in Angel Fire, NM, serving Taos County and the Sangre de Cristo Mountains near Taos. Linda Crooks has raised alpacas for several years, working with national registries and following recommended health testing protocols to ensure strong breeding lines. The herd lives on managed pasture with 360-degree mountain views, and each animal receives daily socialization and hand-feeding to build a calm temperament.

Fiber from the ranch is known for its soft hand and even fleece density, a result of careful selection for fleece quality and uniformity. Visitors often comment on the relaxed pace of the property and the opportunity to learn about alpaca care in a hands-on setting. A commitment to sustainable land use and a genuine fondness for each individual animal guide the ranch’s approach to breeding and herd management. The operation traces its roots to a family tradition of mountain ranching that values stewardship and community ties.
