Tealwater Ranch Alpacas is now a part of MiFarm.
The original Tealwater Ranch in Michigan began raising colorful, high quality Huacaya and Suri alpacas for the beautiful fiber they produce in 2005. Cora and Bob assembled this herd individually through selective investments and breeding decisions. The choice of studs resulted in over a dozen show champions and ~50 blue ribbon winners on the farm - enough to qualify Tealwater Ranch as "Certified Elite". This herd has the genetic diversity and bloodlines for new breeders to build quality starter-herd packages.
