Our mission

We start with outstanding genetics, use a data-driven approach to decision making, resulting in stellar alpacas!
Our business philosophy is simple: We believe in the ethic of reciprocity, the Golden Rule: “do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” 
Our goal is to continue the alpaca owners and breeders tradition of always being willing to share and support others’ efforts, whatever those goals may be: fiber, breeding, or simply enhanced lifestyle.

Our Farm

We are located about 45 minutes east of the Kansas City metropolitan area and just north of Interstate 70 in Missouri.  The farm is home to around 100 beautiful Suri alpaca, some awesome Great Pyrenees livestock guard dogs, and the friendliest barn cats around.

Our herdsires include exceptional males -  Pucura PureSuri Tikanui, Dark Arrow of Harmony, BBFAI Torpedo, Dallas of Prairie Lake, Tikanui's Zen of Harmony, Astor of Harmony, Eagle Valley Spirit Dancer, TSSS Ice Man, and others.

Alpaca born on our farm are tested for BVDV, microchipped, and registered with the Alpaca Owners Association.

Our Facilities

We spent a lot of time researching shelters and pastures that would be best suited for alpaca.  While we have found things that we might do differently "next time", we did end up with facilities that work well for us and would like to share some of the things that we would recommend to others. 
  • We are able to easily rotate grazing areas to help with parasite control and forage growth.
  • Pie shaped pastures facilitates moving alpacas to the barn in an efficient manner.
  • We appreciate automatic, heated waterers in each paddock.
  • We can group animals depending upon stage in life. Nursing moms and cria are in one pen, weanlings in another pen, etc. This allows for feeding based on nutritional needs of like groups.
  • The separate barns for girls and boys help keep macho "positioning" to a minimum. They are separated by sight and smell.
  • The interior aisle, or run, in the girls' barn is great for moving animals to the scale for herd health activities. (And the cria quickly adapt - and look forward - to their daily run through the aisle to get weighed!)
  • The center pen in the girls' barn works well for feeding select animals (who need more or less than the others), for moms and babies who we want keep protected because of the weather, for breeding purposes, for some medical care, and for beginning halter training. It's like a community room!
  • Our climate controlled room in the main barn is terrific if a cria are born in extreme temperatures or when there are other medical needs that require a temporary warm or cool environment.
  • Alpacas LOVE to be outside.... big overhangs on the barns allow them to be outside but still have protection from rain or snow.
  • A small hot water heater in the main barn is wonderful when filling up extra buckets of water for indoor pens in the middle of winter.

Here are the layouts of most of our barns and pastures. They're not to scale, but they do give a fairly accurate representation of the interior space. The fourth sketch is of the layout of the entire property.
Our pastures are planted in orchard grass, brome and alfalfa. Our fences are metal with 2 x 4 woven wire, and roughly 56" high. Because of coyotes in our area, we decided to use livestock guard dogs for security. Our three Great Pyres can move freely throughout all the pastures by way of small holes (about 18" x 18") placed around the far reaches of the property and also close to the center of the property. This allows the dogs to quickly get to other areas.
