We just had our 21st baby of 2008!
Our farm is located just south of Bozeman, Montana. We have a beautiful, newly completed barn to accomodate are growing herd comfortably. Since moving to our new home in September 2007, we've put up over 2 miles of fencing, a new barn and new road. We love the sunny, bright days of winter and are looking forward to springtime.
We have easy access from Interstate 90 that runs through the heart of Montana. The farm sits just south of Bozeman with views of the Bridger and Crazy Mountains. We are just over an hour from Yellowstone National Park and only minutes away from the Bridger Bowl Ski Resort. Because of this easy access, shipping to our customers makes the distance of a sale not an issue.
We have nearly 80 alpacas on our farm at this point, and it is a fulltime job for us. We love being able to get up in the morning, enjoy a cup of coffee and look out at our alpacas as they stretch and roll and get ready for the day, too.
We now offer Alpaca / Wool blend yarn, a predator friendly, organic, naturally colored product milled right in Montana. You can order directly from us , or visit the mill at Thirteen Mile Farm or the yarn shop at www.stixyarn.com. We are working on making available hand knit hats, scarves and blankets, all produced in the Gallatin Valley of Montana.
Our Turkish Anatolian guard dogs are made to sleep, eat and live with the alpacas. Cookie is almost 3 years old, where Griz is just getting started on duty. He is 8 months old, brought in from Los Angelas, California, and will mature around 2 years old. He currently weighs in at 110+ lbs. We have loved this type of dog over the years, as they are affectionate, low-key and tolerant. But, when there is any sign of an unwanted intruder, they are ready and able to keep the alpacas safe from harm. Anatolians are one of the few guard dogs that can take on a mountain lion in a fight and win.
Farm visits in all sizes are always welcome.
With great joy we proudly present our ARI registerd alpacas to any and all who want to know more. Even if you're not yet in the alpaca business, we love to talk about alpacas, so give us a call! We offer a variety of colors, bloodlines and ages of female and male alpacas to create an ideal match for any farm. Each of our sires promotes unique, high quality features to help further your own herd. We match them specifically with what each female alpaca offers to the next generation of alpacas. Packages and discounts are available, as is shipping and consulation, to help the purchase go as smoothly as possible. Please feel free to phone or e-mail any questions or schedule a visit to Alpacas of Montana.
A warm July evening in Montana.
