Our Herd of Alpacas in Michigan
The Grand Alpaca herd was started by alpaca pioneers, Tim and Jane Talbot, in 1985 and represents 30 years of dedication and experience in raising alpacas in Michigan. These are Chilean and Peruvian huacaya alpacas bred selectively to achieve excellence in conformation, disposition, color, and fiber (density, fineness, luster, uniformity, and crimp). Through careful pedigree analysis and selection, this herd comprises an excellent gene pool and breeding program. Through superior breeding, our herd is of high quality with proven lineage, with all 16 lustrous shades of the alpaca color spectrum represented, including variations of silver-grey, rose-grey, fawn and black alpacas.
