Welcome to Sack Race Ranch

Creating products for our future from the worlds oldest Domesticated Animals.

Alpaca's brought forward from the time of the Inca's and still prized today for the softness and luxurious of their fiber have to proven to be a great ranch addition. Imported originally from South America, they have adapted well and continue to flourish in every continent.

The life span of an Alpaca is 15 to 20 plus years and their adult weight is 100 to 190 lb.. This compact size, makes them easy to manage and increases there desirability as a companion animal. They respond well to halter training and learn simple commands. They are a modified ruminant and do well on good quality hays. When compared to most other domesticated livestock they cost less to feed.

At the ranch we are often asked, What do you do with the alpaca’s? Primarily they are raised to sell and to harvest their fiber. Their fiber is shipped to a mill to be turned into yarn and other products to sell. As natural fibers go the alpaca fiber remains very highly valued. It remains three times as warm as wool without the weight or itch factor associated with wool fibers. Because it does not have the oil or lanolin it is also hypoallergenic. With over 20 natural colors alpaca fiber is becoming the preferred medium for those insisting on all natural garments.

Having Alpaca’s connects you to the artistic community as their fiber is desirable for weaving and many different fiber arts. Their fiber lends itself to many different creations from felt products, pillows, vests, blankets and individualized clothing.

While we continue to breed for fine fiber while increasing density and maintaining correct conformation from head to toe. Our breeding program is reaping the benefits of excellent Alpacas to choose from. We are proud to offer both Huacaya and Suri’s for your selection.
