Skyline Alpacas

Skyline Alpacas, alpacas, Portland, OR, is located in the Columbia River Gorge near Vancouver. Mary Jaffe has been breeding alpacas for several years, holds active membership in the Alpaca Owners Association, and follows regular health-screening protocols.

Animals are pasture-raised on 20 acres of mixed grassland with rotational grazing, receive daily handling, and begin gentle socialization soon after birth. The farm’s small-batch fiber quality has earned praise from local artisans for its softness and natural luster. Visitors note a calm atmosphere where animals roam freely, interact with caretakers, and explore shaded pastures.

Each spring brings a crias season supported by midwifery practices, immediate postnatal exams by a local large-animal veterinarian, and careful weight monitoring. Facilities include covered feeding shelters, heated barns, and a shaded turnout paddock to ensure comfort year-round. Skyline Alpacas also hosts educational workshops to share best practices in alpaca husbandry and fiber care.
