Battle River Alpacas, located in East Central Alberta, between Galahad and Forestburg. We have 10 acres of land and were looking at raising small livestock, which led us to alpacas. We fulfilled our dream of raising alpacas when we purchased our first alpacas in 1994. We now have a herd of around 30 alpacas, consisting of Chilean, Peruvian, Bolivian, and crosses.
Subsequent to purchasing and caring for our alpacas, we have developed a very successful Custom Shearing business. This has afforded us the opportunity to learn, to teach, and best of all develop relationships with other breeders.
We have developed a strategy to produce exceptionally high quality alpacas. We have animals that are "double registered" (with the CLRC and ARI registries), as well as "single registered" animals (with CLRC registry).
We have enhanced our genetic pool, thereby improving established fibre and conformation attributes. Our selection of studs include Peruvian, Bolivian and Chilean bloodlines. We breed for fibre fineness, crimp and density. We support Can-Cam, our fibre cooperative, who are very active in developing markets for alpaca fibre, and for finished alpaca products.
Ongoing buyer support is an important and integral part of our program. All of our breeding stock is sold with fertility guarantee. We invite you to visit our ranch to see, touch and experience alpaca beauty and tranquility.
