Absaroka Alpaca Ranch

Absaroka Alpaca Ranch, alpacas, Brighton, Colorado, Adams County and the Front Range near Denver, raises healthy, well-socialized herd. The ranch follows Alpaca Owners Association standards for fleece grading, participates in regional alpaca events, and conducts routine health screening including fecal exams, vaccinations, and genetic assessments. Animals graze on rotational pastures with natural shelter and receive daily gentle handling, early exposure to family members and children, and guided walks for social confidence.

The Mahaffeys built the ranch with a focus on pasture management and each animal’s well-being, emphasizing low-stress handling techniques. Fleece is shorn annually and processed on-site into small-batch yarn and felt, supporting local artisans and sustainable fiber use. Visitors note the ranch’s tranquil atmosphere and often praise the alpacas’ glossy coats and friendly nature during seasonal farm tours. The team includes professional shearers and veterinary consultants to maintain optimal herd health and fiber quality year-round.
