Arrowhead Alpacas

Arrowhead Alpacas alpacas, Powell, WY, are housed on a family-owned ranch in Park County and the Bighorn Basin near Cody. Over a decade of breeding alpaca, they maintain national alpaca association membership and perform routine fiber and health testing, along with annual parasite screenings. They raise their herd on open pasture with well-drained paddocks, focusing on early socialization and gentle handling from birth and regular hoof trimming.

Their flock includes bloodlines valued for soft, uniform fleece, often appreciated at local fiber gatherings and backed by detailed lineage documentation. Seasonal farm visits introduce fiber enthusiasts to shearing, alpaca care and spinning basics in an informal setting during summer workshops. With dedicated pasture rotation and nutrient-rich forage, they emphasize sustainable practices and animal welfare through low-impact grazing and rotational rest periods.

They also participate in regional alpaca council meetings, sharing lineage records, fleece micron counts and breeding outcomes and contributing to breed improvement discussions. The on-site shearing barn has temperature control and designated clean areas for fiber sorting and storage, with dedicated bins for graded fleece.
