North Platte Alpacas is a small breeder farm located along the North Platte River, east of Glenrock, WY.\u00a0 Frances and Vicki both come from farming and ranching backgrounds and are committed to raise quality breeding and fiber herd alpacas. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They wanted to utilize their small acreage and after doing some research decided to raise alpacas. Alpacas are easy on the land, simple to care for, have an awesome fiber to utilize and provide a stress free environment. \u00a0North Platte Alpacas started about 7 years ago and currently has a herd of about 50 alpacas.<\/span><\/p>\n

North Platte Alpacas\u2019 wool is not processed at the farm at this time, but Vicki began taking spinning lessons in March. \u00a0The wool is sent to mini mills for processing into yarn and roving.\u00a0 Skirted raw fleece is also available for sale at the farm.\u00a0 Colors range from the natural wool colors or the fiber is dyed into bright colors. This hypo-allergenic, warm wool is used to make hats, headbands, scarves, rugs and wear well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
