The Shepherd's Criations Alpaca Farm

The Shepherd's Criations Alpaca Farm, run by Eddie and Gale Etherton, raises alpacas in Shepherdsville, Kentucky, about 20 miles south of Louisville. The farm has been active in the alpaca industry for over 12 years, and its program centers on a clear and consistent goal: producing alpacas of color, with a particular focus on black and grey.

Breeding decisions at the farm are guided by lineage as much as color. When adding animals to the herd, the Ether tons prioritize individuals that carry black or grey in their background alongside what they describe as excellent bloodlines. That selective approach has shown measurable results — over a recent two-year stretch, roughly 80 percent of crias born on the farm came out black or grey, and those results have extended into the show ring.

The farm's herdsire genetics reflect that philosophy. Animals in the program trace to show-decorated lines known for strong color production, correct conformation, and fleece quality. For those searching for alpacas for sale in Kentucky with a color-focused breeding program behind them, the Shepherdsville operation brings a track record of show-ring recognition alongside hands-on husbandry. The Ethertons handle most of their own health maintenance, including parasite monitoring and blood work, and are known for sharing that practical knowledge with buyers before, during, and after a sale.
