Welcome to Perkiomen Creek Ranch. We focus on breeding and
selling award-winning high-quality huacaya alpacas.
Perkiomen Pioneer took a blue ribbon in
the MAPACA 2008 fleece show. His fleece is the finest in our
herd. Contact us for breeding opportunities.
Come visit our
alpacas! We have 10 girls and 7 boys. Above is our
latest addition yet to be named with her mom Nathalie. She was
born on October 4.
'Nesquik' is pictured above
with three blue ribbons from SEPA 2006 on September 9, 2006, one for halter class, one for open obstacle, and one for open public
relations. 'Perkiomen Pioneer'
is shown with our niece Abigail above right. Please see our
herdsires web page for more information on incorporating 'Nesquik'
and 'Perkiomen Pioneer' into your breeding program.
We are a family-owned
alpaca ranch. Our prior 20 years of experience with dairy cows
and chickens have provided us with a solid foundation on handling
livestock. Alpacas, officially categorized as livestock in the
state of Pennsylvania, are truly huggable investments, easy to
maintain, and entertaining to watch. In the evenings, we enjoy
spending time watching them graze, run around, and play. We
refer to them as large curious cats.
Alpacas, as we know
them today, originate from South America, mostly from Peru, Chile,
and Bolivia. They are related to llamas and are members of the
camel species. The fineness and handle of the alpaca fleece
makes it a desirable source for clothing.
Please visit our
herdsires page for breedings, notably
RRA Onyx's Nesquik.
Three of our
foundation females have also performed well in the show ring,
notably Marlarque's Crimson Flame,
RRA Solomon's Nathalie, and
Perkiomen Padme.
