About Us
WASATCH BACK ALPACASHow it all Started
It all began with raising Navajo Churro Sheep, we did that for fourteen years and really enjoyed this process. In 2015 we decided to take our love of animals and the animal husbandry experience and expand into raising Alpacas. It has been an adventure we have really enjoyed.
Our Love for Alpacas
We have found Alpacas to be curious, gentle and peaceful animals who are pleasant to be around.
My primary goals are to enjoy the animals, have my sons benefit from growing up on a working farm, and supplement my income through selling their fiber and manure and breeding and selling their offspring. My sons and I have enjoyed the animals, getting to know others involved in the industry, and making new friends.
About Alpacas
Alpacas are generally safe, docile and pleasant animals to be around. Alpacas are also environmentally friendly and require little pasture or food. Their manure makes for very good fertilizer. You can raise 2 to 8 alpacas on an acre of land. Alpacas produce about 5-10 pounds of fleece per animal, per year. Their fleece is often compared to cashmere and is recognized worldwide for its fineness, softness, luster, durability, and excellent thermal qualities.
