Welcome to our Alpaca Farm!
At Mountain Jewel Alpacas, we believe in researching and choosing top bloodlines in order to continually improve our alpaca herd. Conformation, high quality fiber and robust health are a few of our favorite things to express in our herd! Careful genetic planning is the key to developing a herd of elite All-American alpacas. The Mountain Jewel herd is currently involved in EPD testing. Expected progeny difference tests are helping alpaca breeders make intelligent breeding choices.
What are the benefits of raising and breeding alpacas?
Alpaca breeding has grown into a multi-billion dollar industry in North America and is still on the rise. Many Americans are discovering that raising and breeding alpacas is a not only a rewarding business but a lifestyle that can provide for a wonderful retirement.
Alpacas are gentle and easy to handle, easy on the land, and have few requirements for their care in relationship to raising other farm animals such as horses and cattle. You can easily raise 5 to 10 alpacas per acre. Raising and breeding alpacas is sustainable and environmentally friendly.
Alpacas come in 22 natural colors and the fiber spins into luxurious yarns which are extremely soft and very lightweight. Alpaca fiber is hollow and has superior insulating properties. The clothing, textiles, and accessories that can be made from alpaca fiber are limited only by your imagination. The beauty and comfort of alpaca clothing is unsurpassed.
