Youth & Alpacas


Photo by J. Clark.

 Our youth are the future of our alpaca livestock industry. They have enthusiasm, energy, bright futures and an unstoppable quest for knowledge. We as adults have only scratched the surface as we strive to learn about the enchanting alpaca. We will leave our job unfinished but in the capable hands of our future generations. All we need to do is encourage and support the power of youth.
