Welcome to Jornada Alpacas

2010 Harvest is in!  We have sheared our Alpaca
(Now on to cleaning, spinning and making yarn)

A great big THANK YOU to Audree Galloway and kids from Sublette for their
help during shearing!  Your help was greatly appreciated!

   Jornada Alpaca is a growing farm in SW Kansas.  Our little piece of the world is an open land, a land of big sky, ocean-like
grasslands, contented cows and endless fields of waving grain, and now Alpaca!  

 We are located  along the Cimarron branch of the old Santa Fe Trail, in  Grant County, KS - "Highway to the Southwest".

  We were looking for livestock that would “fit” on our acreage (5 acres), be relatively easy to work with AND be enjoyable to be around. What a perfect fit with alpaca!

Phil and I made our decision to invest in our original herd (1 pregnant female with cria at side) following a year researching the alpaca industry, attending the 2004 Great Western Alpaca Show in Denver and visiting several alpaca farms.  We began building a barn,
After Shock - Herdsire
readying the pastures, attended a wonderful Marty McGee Bennett hands-on training seminar and educating ourselves as much as possible about our new livestock purchase. We brought our "girls" home in June 2005 and have been enchanted, amazed and very excited to start a new "jornada" or journey.

Our goal is to breed and raise quality alpaca for the future of the national herd   and  quality fiber for the production of luxurious yarns and a wide  range of clothing made from their amazing fiber. Last but not least………for the "shear" enjoyment of it.

Give us a call  , stop by if you're in the neighborhood, have a cup of coffee and we'll chat awhile.
