Birchleaf Alpacas

Breeding For the Future

Welcome to our site :) We have been breeders and buyers of alpacas for 25 plus years now and have watched the industry grow while the animal quality grew with it. Our herd consists of Proven high quality Huacaya that we have collected and bred, which are proven to be some of the best genetics from imported to North America. We continually try and better the breed and hope to some day arrive at the 20/20/20 goal of 20 lbs of 20 micron fibre at 20 yrs of age. Big goal we know, but look what they have done with Merino Sheep. We breed highly vigorous animals while focusing on genetic reproduction, abundance of milk and prepotency for easy conception. We also continue to use Stud males with a very Showy, proud presence, that are easy to handle, these traits are obvious and recognized in our Show stock. We have been for the last 7+ years focused on getting the neck fibre and fibre to the knee to match the blanket and are seeing some really good results. We have always focused on getting the lower belly crimp to match the upper mid side and eliminating Guard hair in the blanket, bib and neck areas. Our animals our being recognized by some judges for their excessive fleece length, density and absence of guard hair. Our herd is diverse in color and age and we have culled hard to get elite breeding stock to produce advanced animals for us and our customers. If your a new or experienced breeder we have an animal to fill the void.
