The ABC's of Alpacas |
Curious About Alpacas??
The ABC's of Alpacas is a fun and informative full-day class taught by the friendly members of ABC. An overview about raising these 'lite livestock,' it is chocked full of information about business aspects, herd health, pasture and feeding needs, fleece avenues, and more. Bring your questions, and we'll bring lunch!
With over 36 years' experience, we offer mentorship to our clients, just as when each of us began as alpaca owners. Whether you are boarding your alpacas or purchasing them for your farm, ABC can assist you in selecting the right animals to meet your goals and your budget.

 Even if it's not an official Farm Day, we welcome Visitors to our farms by appointment. Please contact us to come watch the alpacas grazing, romping, playing, relaxing. Volunteer for herd health days, halter training, barn duties, or to 'skirt' a fleece. Several of our farms have curious and frisky cria (babies), and more on the way.
Both suri and huacaya alpacas live at Ridgeview Alpacas (Veneta) and Alpaca Country (Coburg).
Aragon Alpacas (South Eugene) has a lady llama so you can see the difference between these camelid cousins.
Pura Vida Alpacas (South Eugene) is home to some stunning grays.
And like the rest of us, Applegate Hills Alpacas exclaims that alpacas offer something for everyone!
We have lots of enthusiasm and experiences to share
about these "lite livestock" for small acreage.
