SERVICES: Boarding, Breeding, Sales, Farm Setup, Financing and Accounting Setup

Hermes Alpacas is located about 20 minutes from Richmond, VA.    My husband, Dan  & I have been raising alpacas for going on 6 years now.  I have always loved animals and the day to day care is very simple yet rewarding and they make me smile if not outright laugh every day.  The stories I could tell....anyway....there are so many different aspects to raising alpacas that anyone can find their niche.  We want to help you find that niche…

Our alpacas are BVD free and have very notable bloodlines, correct conformation with a focus on fleece fineness and soft handle.  We have always believed that a fleece’s soft handle and fineness are the most important aspects.  There can be density and crimp, but if it is not fine with a soft handle, who wants it next to their skin?  Our Victor and Hemingway lines provide not only the fineness and soft handle, but hold their microns in the low to mid 20's even as they age.  If we lock in these traits, there will always be a high dollar market for our fleece.  For example, we have a Victor daughter who is 13 years of age and her 2010 AFD 19.3 and CV was 23.1 and she has given me a cria every year!   Through our breeding program, we can add additional desired traits as needed.  Each cria born should have a genetic improvement and we are very pleased with our progress.  With the purchase of any of our females, we offer free breedings to any of our wholly owned herdsires until a female cria is born.  We want to assist in every way possible for your success.

We offer complete customer service to those who are already established and those who are just beginning.  We can be of assistance with animal management, farm setup, agisting, financing and accounting.  We want your visits and purchasing experience to be rewarding and enjoyable.  Please do not hesitate in contacting us for we would be pleased to assist you in your search for your perfect alpaca!  Just check out some of these bloodlines...Timoteo, Quetzal, Snowmass Don Juan, Hemingway, Victor, Ion, Bueno, Casanova, Accoyo Titan, Titan's Clash, Prince Phillip, Augusto, Royal Fawn.
