Dream it, do it. Here at Hidden Hill Farm Alpacas, we strive to produce the very finest alpacas with a select herd of both top quality light and fawn huacayas and elite rare-colored suris. We have fielded white color champion huayacas now for several years, including the 2009 AAA Futurity White Male Champion, who also took the Color Champion honors at MAPACA and the Judge's Choice at MAPACA that year. Dually's cria started to hit the ground in 2010, and they are amazing! He has sired every color of the dam presented to him thus far, and has a double banner winning black daughter, and whites and fawns that have taken blues at huge shows. Dually's sire, our Caligula's Casanova, has produced many white champion offspring for us. Casanova, who was our treasured signature herdsire, passed away in 2012, but he left us a formidable legacy in his offspring. His passing forced us to think about how to build a program around his champion sons and daughters, and we have added two very key full Alianza males, Status Symbol SSMRT and HDF King Arthur, who met and exceeded all our discriminating selection criteria.
We are serious about fiber, too, and we aim for animals of enduring fleece qualities of fineness, uniformity and density, with advanced fleece architecture. Both my brother, our facilities manager, and I are apprentice fiber sorters. We have given talks on the benefits of fiber sorting at local events and at fleece shows to date. I also do herd evaluations upon request. Our fiber arts products are featured at farmers' markets in the southern NH region, and we have built a yurt that is our fiber studio. My father and I are both handweavers, and I took up handspinning long before I met my first alpaca. We strive to produce our own finished alpaca products, and we support cooperative ventures that we feel will bring about a viable commercial fiber market in North America and help to raise consumer awareness of the fabulous qualities of alpaca fiber! We are members of the North American Alpaca Fiber Producers (NAAFP) as well as AFCNA.
But above all, we believe in the power of every entrant into the alpaca business to realize his or her dreams. This is a wonderful business and we hope you have the time to come and visit with us on your alpaca journey.
