Sweet Clover Alpaca

Sweet Clover Alpaca alpacas in Conway, AR, are raised in central Arkansas near Little Rock. Deborah Shannon has built a herd that follows routine health checks and annual vaccinations in line with guidelines recommended by the Alpaca Owners Association, ensuring strong immune health.

Animals graze on rotating open pastures enhanced by supplemental feeding when needed and retreat to sheltered barns designed for comfort and protection year-round. Daily socialization and gentle handling foster calm temperaments and make families comfortable interacting with the herd during visits. Fleece from each animal is assessed for micron count and staple length to maintain consistent fiber quality before processing on site.

Pasture health is monitored through rotational grazing and soil testing to support sustainable land stewardship and animal nutrition. The farm hosts occasional open days that welcome community members to learn about alpaca care in a relaxed, rural atmosphere.
