About Next Chapter Alpacas
We started checking out alpaca ranches around August 2006. We just fell in love with these beautiful creatures, so we we bought two preganat females, a Suri and a Huacaya, inMarch 2011.
We were up to 21 alpacas and 3 guard llamas. But becasue of Cora's declining health due to Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer, I had reduced the herds so I could spend more time with her as her health declined. She passed away on 6 Feb 2023. Currently, there are only 3 suri male alpacas on the farm, Trecini, Apachae, and Tiger's Eye.
This funny farm also has two barn cats, one horse, five miniature donkeys (three which were born on the property), and three cats that will go into our "farm store," if I ever get to that from my ever growing "To Do List."
Our alpaca farm is located at 4290 Maass Road, Burton, TX ( 20 minutes from Brenham).
