Tall Corn Alpacas, LLC

Tall Corn Alpacas, LLC has been raising alpacas in Marengo, Illinois since 2006, making it one of the longer-running alpaca programs in the region west of Chicago. Owner Don Kent built the herd with an emphasis on health and conformation as the primary selection criteria, followed by fineness and uniformity, and then density and crimp — a deliberate priority order designed to produce crias with measurable genetic gains over their dam and sire.

The program specializes in huacaya alpacas and has developed a particular focus on colored animals, concentrating on brown and black breeding stock. The stated goal is to bring the fleece characteristics of colored huacayas to a level that rivals the finest white fiber available. Foundation genetics draw from Peruvian imports, Bolivian and Chilean bloodlines, and Canadian-bred dams, reflecting a broad international base. Award-winning herd sires anchor the breeding side of the operation, and outside breedings are also utilized to support the program's selective goals.

Alpaca breeders and fiber enthusiasts looking for huacaya alpacas in Illinois will find a program in Marengo that has been refining its colored fiber focus across multiple generations of animals.
