We ran the Alpaca-Pac 4H club for 12 years, with many of dozens of kids passing though our program learning how to handle, care for, and show alpacas as well as learning how make things from alpaca and sheeps wool. Our 4H-ers participated in many alpaca performance shows. Now, as Collegiate Professor for College in the Woods at Binghamton University, Andy brings alpacas to campus over a dozen times a year, and hosts an alpaca Costume show every year.
We have found that raising alpacas are a great way to raise your human kids. So if you want alpacas to breed, or to show, or for their fiber (wool), or just for fun, we have alpacas that would be perfect for you. GIve us a call or email us.
