Spring Creek Farm And Alpacas

Spring Creek Farm And Alpacas is a family-owned operation raising alpacas in Huson, MT, in the Bitterroot Valley near Missoula. Mark Richardson has spent over a decade refining herd health and fiber quality while following industry health guidelines, routine veterinary exams and quarterly herd screenings. Participation in industry events at regional shows, fiber expositions and record keeping for bloodlines, fiber micron counts and temperament assessments support transparent breeding practices.

Animals live on spacious pastures with daily handling and gradual herd introductions to support gentle temperaments and social bonding. Seasonal rotations ensure fresh forage and shelter from mountain weather. The farm processes fiber on site and collaborates with local artisans for small-batch yarn, roving and felted goods. The farm’s mountain foothill location offers varied terrain, clean air and natural seasonal water sources for the herd’s wellbeing. Visitors often remark on the animals’ calm demeanors and the breeder’s depth of knowledge.
