About Our Alpacas in Michigan
Alpacas in Michigan
Our alpacas in Michigan at Grand Alpaca Company Farm and Fiber Mill are all Huacayas which originated from Chili and Peru. Huacaya Alpacas are bred to achieve excellence in conformation, disposition, color, and fiber quality. Through careful pedigree analysis and selection, our herd consists of over fifty alpacas. We have grown our herd to be of the highest quality with proven lineage representing all sixteen lustrous shades of the alpaca color spectrum.
At the Grand Alpaca Company farm and fiber mill we currently have 52 alpacas that include 4 crias (babies). We have more males on the farm than females, which is odd for most farms, but it is practical for our strategy. Male fiber typically remains of a higher quality for a longer period time than a female's. Due to the fact a pregnant female's energy, goes into growing the cria instead of their fiber.
