We are “hands on” breeders doing nearly everything necessary to raise quality alpaca. We do nearly all of our herd maintenance work except services that require a professional veterinarian and our annual shearing. Having studied several alpaca ranches, we were able to build an alpaca facility from scratch, incorporating the best ideas from several sources. Most visitors find our facilities to be a model of organization.

At Alpacas of Cripple Creek, we will:

  • Provide an Introduction to the Alpaca Life-Style – even after a brief ranch visit, you will quickly fall in love with our alpaca. The “cuteness factor” makes them irresistible. Our honest talks about the care, feeding, and time required will help you determine if alpaca have a place in your lives.
  • Provide a Wide Selection of Alpaca – with a herd size of about 30 alpaca, we can offer a wide range of breeding females and pet males in a wide range of colors and ages.
  • Provide Attractive Herd Packages – especially for those seeking the start of their alpaca lifestyle, you’ll find our pricing to be very attractive. Packages can be developed to suit your needs, including transportation, agistment, or continuing support services such as shearing and inoculations.
  • Provide the Lessons of Our Experience – after several years of breeding, we have learned how to care for, and even more important, enjoy our alpaca life-style. We have developed a unique record-keeping and information system to help manage and evaluate the herd to make important decisions. In addition, our alpaca facilities have been designed to allow ease of herd feeding, care, and management, including the movement from pasture to pasture or corral to corral.
  • Provide a Lasting Relationship – we base our business on relationships. Although we use clear, simple contracts for all of our services, we use them only to insure a clear understanding of our agreements. We prefer to base our business on lasting relationships and friendships.
