arbapikealpacas@wildblue.net Type of Alpaca: Huacaya We are a medium-sized, full service farm not far from the highest point in Indiana.

Offering personal, friendly service and advice, we encourage you to come and visit to experience the “alpaca” way of life. We also get involved in our local community; we have been the 4H leaders for alpacas since 2005, having started this program in our county. Since then we have had 3 successful 4H shows! We participate in National Alpaca Farm Day, host farm visits for home schoolers and have taken alpacas into local schools to provide education about these wonderful animals.

Catch_a_Cria@yahoo.com Type of Alpaca: Huacaya & Suri Established in 2007, Catch-a-Cria Alpacas is a small farm located just outside of Fort Wayne, Indiana. Even though we are small, you will find both Suri and Huacaya alpacas on our farm. We love showing off our variety to family, friends and farm visitors. Farm visits were critical in making the decision to take on this venture and change in lifestyle. At least 10 farms were visited in three states and each one offered valuable information. Decisions had to be made regarding barn layout, pasture, fencing and herd management practices. Preparations from the ground up began! There was a barn to build, pasture to plant and lots of fencing and gates to install. Meanwhile, there are always plenty of seminars and reading material that covers every alpaca topic imaginable. We welcome farm visitors and will use all the information and experience we have gathered to “pay it forward” in the alpaca community. Circus City Alpacas

We can’t live without animals to care for and enjoy. We have enjoyed the alpaca community and their helpful hints. We started with two young females and now have fourteen in our herd. The babies are wonderful and so much fun to watch. We will continue to increase our herd to approximately 20 alpacas. We want to remain a small farm and provide excellent care and attention to details. Our goals are to produce the best quality fiber possible, and to develop lasting relationships with our friends and customers. We believe in being truthful and helping each other as much as we can.

Of course, it is a continual work in progress! We are starting small and We began our journey in 1999 by doing research and visiting a farm or two. After buying five acres, building a house, a barn, and fence, we were finally ready to make our big purchase: alpacas. And here we are today. We are a small and up-coming alpaca farm who wants to stay focused on quality alpacas and quality families. It is our mission to raise and sell quality alpacas while raising quality children.

Pat “puts up” about 250 soft-core large round bales of orchard grass hay each year and sells most of it to our neighbors for their cattle and horses. We keep about 10 bales for our alpacas and guard llamas (they just don’t require much food). I’ll give you an example, we have 20 alpacas and 5 guard llamas and they eat about one round bale every 2 months. Neighbor Chuck, across the road has six horses and just added 6 long horned steer, and he goes through 3 round bales a week (that’s right – a week!) Our herd has grown by leaps (or should we say “prongs”) and bounds and we continue to celebrate our anniversary of owning alpacas and llamas since we bought our first on September 17, 2000! Excalibur Alpacas
excaliburalpacas@me.com Type of Alpacas: Excalibur Alpacas believes in breeding excellence and that it can best be achieved by carefully combining the most exceptional genetics from both the female and the sire. Our objective from the start was to offer only the finest alpacas, bred and nurtured with the greatest of care. We chose to concentrate on white and light alpacas because of the enhanced value their fiber has in commercial production due to it’s ability to be easily dyed. We breed our females primarily to blue-ribbon full Accoyo herdsires, producing beautiful crias with superlative phenotypes and eye-catching pedigrees. We also utilize our own full Accoyo herdsires who are sons of PPPeruvian Dracula, PCA Accoyo El Nino and PPPeruvian Royal Fawn. We cordially invite you to visit our ranch and experience these beautiful and mystical animals in person. Gentleman JacksJack & Debra Close Type of Alpacas: Goose Creek Alpacas

We are currently working to be as “green” as possible moving towards organic certification. Indiana Alpaca Company
alpacas@partnersplus.biz Type of Alpacas: Huacaya Alpacas are a wonderful animal to raise and breed. They are fun to watch, gentle and docile to handle, and less costly to feed than other animals such as horses. Their feet have pads like a dog’s, so they are gentler on pasture than cows or horses. The income produced is from shearing (once a year, usually in the spring) and sales of some of the herd. There are several tax advantages available to those raising alpacas, which can reduce (sometimes substantially) your tax burden. We would be thrilled to help you understand these and see if they can be integrated into your financial planning. Our farm is large enough to board (or “agist”) alpacas. This provides the potential for you to own the animals and take some of the tax breaks, while leaving the everyday chores to us. Drop an e-mail for more information. Kal’s Corner Alpaca Farm

Triple Z Alpaca Farm, LLC
mikeoftriplez@aol.com Type of Alpacas: Suri Welcome to The Triple Z Alpaca Farm which was derived from the road on which we live…”000 Rd.” in Decatur, IN. We are located about 20 miles south of Ft. Wayne, IN. Where we started, in 2004, with two, full Peruvian, females and have slowly but, surely grown to 15 Alpacas. We have tried to improve the quality of our animals through selective breeding to award winning, ACCOYO, herdsires. Some of the genetics we have injected into our herd are…Baron, Torbio, Rockstar, Magnum, FSA’s Somethin’s UP, Accoyo Belmonte, Bruxo, Membrillo, Kalvin, Jackpot, Crown Royal, Uribe, Don Quixote, & accoyo Ramillo! Whew…. We believed that since we didn’t have a large herd we needed to breed to FULL ACCOYO. And, the suri was chosen because they are a fine but, rare breed with lustrous, fiber…not to mention the fact that we could be involved in preserving a special, rare breed. We love the luster factor because of the sheen that it gives the final product. If you want to breed suri alpacas and, build on good genetics, we have them in any one of our alpacas. As we grow, we are very excited about building a top quality herd. And, with the help of the “Good Shepherd” we can. Hope you enjoy this site…God Bless. Turkey Creek Alpacas, LLC
info@turkeycreekalpacas.com Type of alpacas: Huacaya Our farm started in 2001 with only a log home on 4 acres. Everything needed for raising alpacas was built from the ground up – 2 barns, fencing and gates, seeding pastures, a farm shop … the works! Needless to say, it was quite an adventure. Raising the animals as a small business was appealing to us because the end product from the animal, soft and luxurious wool referred to as “fiber”, is obtained without harm. The appeal to raise “green” livestock with the added bonus of a naturally sustainable end product was exactly what we were searching for. Not to mention the fiber is harvested with no harm to the animal. We view the alpaca business as a two-fold opportunity – the first being the breeding and sales of animals – and the second the start of a cottage business from the fiber. Since 2002 we have been selling yarn and finished products using our own fiber through our farm shop, festivals and events around the Michiana area. Currently we have ~ 30 animals with several cria on the way in 2011! We love to talk alpaca and invite you to come visit our farm. Learn about alpacas, fiber and a rewarding lifestyle with alpacas!
