The goal is for our alpacas to have uniform, dense and grade-appropriate fleece for a U.S. commercial market. We believe the way to achieve this goal is through education and using all the tools of a true livestock model. This means Histograms, Skin Biopsies, SHIP (Suri Herd Improvement Program) and culling.

I am beyond thrilled with this rug. The cool, soft touch is exquisite! I may never sit on my couch again. The colors are beautiful neutrals and the pattern brings interest without being overwhelming. It really is all around fantastic. My dog went counter surfing and found a slab of BBQ ribs that he then enjoyed eating in the middle of the alpaca rug in the family room.
