Alpacas are intelligent 
and easy to train.

Some folks raise alpacas primarily for their fiber. Hand spinners and weavers love the look and feel of the luxurious fiber. Good quality alpaca fiber can be made into top quality garments like sweaters, coats, hats and gloves. Some fancy fashion shows have even featured fine alpaca garments.

There's two types of alpacas: huacayas and suris. Here at Spittin' Creek we raise 'em both 'cause we love the look and feel of both types of fiber. The huayaca alpacas have what can be described as a "poufy" appearance and their fiber should have good crimp and density. The suri alpacas have a silky, "drapey"' look and their fiber otta contain luster and good lock formation.

Havin' two younguns here on the farm, disposition is crucial to us—and the alpacas have to be nice too! Our alpacas get along well with children and adults as well. Heck, the whole world could learn some lessons from the gentle nature of these critters. There's no trouble with other animals either— ours are raised side by side with our llamas.

Alpacas are intelligent and easy to train. We have taken our alpacas to schools, churches, festivals and fairs. At Spittin' Creek, our alpacas are comfortable in the show ring, class rooms, pasture and two of our females have even been featured on a local radio program. Their peaceful hums were heard throughout the county that day!

Today many folks are raising alpacas for fun and they have the potential to make a return on their investment (for folks who are concerned about that)! Here at Spittin' Creek we love our alpacas and llamas and think that you will too.
