Wilkins Livestock Ranch

Wilkins Livestock Ranch is a breeder of alpacas in Geneva, NE, in Southeast Nebraska near Lincoln, focusing on health. Mike and Janet Wilkins have bred alpacas for over a decade and hold memberships in national alpaca associations. They perform regular health testing including annual vaccinations, deworming, and fleece evaluations to support each animal’s well-being.

Animals graze on rotational pastures with year-round shelter, and they enjoy daily handling that fosters gentle dispositions. The ranch also hosts educational visits and partners with regional fiber artists to share sustainable alpaca wool. Careful record keeping and transparent breeding practices contribute to a reputation for consistent, well-socialized alpacas suitable for both small farms and fiber studios.

Fleece samples are independently judged each shearing season, and several of their alpacas have earned high marks for fiber density and fineness. All farming operations follow eco-friendly practices, including composting manure and minimizing chemical inputs on pastures.
