Fostering Superb Alpacas and Alpaca Clothing |
| |
|
 
Welcome to Big Horn Mountain Alpacas located in the rolling green foothills of the wild and scenic Big Horn Mountains of Wyoming. Established in 2005, our ranch focuses on breeding huacaya alpacas of color with great fiber. Our fiber is processed on site, including shearing the animals ourselves, which not only makes sense environmentally, but also keeps the cost low for the buyer of our products. Our ranch is a family run business. The herd is visited at least twice a day for feedings, fresh water, clean up and lots of attention. In addition to keeping our animals current with vaccines, nail trimmings and worming, as a small ranch we have opportunities to work with each animal on halter and lead. Our alpacas are acclimated to horses, dogs, chickens and our guard burro who roam the acreage. We also sell a variety of alpaca clothing, assessories, with one of our top sellers being our unique handfelted western hats which are sold around the country and carried in fine western stores. Take a look at our ranch store on this website to see what these great fiber animals produce. With fiber as soft as cashmere, warmer than wool, hypoallergenic and in 22 natural colors, alpaca clothing makes a great gift for someone else or for yourself.

Alpacas are members of the camelid (camel) family. They are indigineous to the Andes Mountains and are raised and sheared yearly for their luxurious soft and warm fiber. Alpaca fiber is a rare speciality fiber. Alpaca is valuable because it combines so many positive attributes into one fiber. It is found naturally in 22 colors, is unusually strong and resilient, has great thermal capacity, is extremely soft to the touch comparable to cashmere, is hypoallergenic, and is fire resistent. Alpaca garments do not need dry cleaned and are easy to care for. In 1984 the first alpacas were imported, and now alpaca, though still rare, is more readily available for all to enjoy.
