Silver Run Ranch Alpacas

Silver Run Ranch Alpacas The items we sell are made from 100% alpaca yarn produced from our Silver Run herd. We drew from the resources on hand to build our ranch.

Begun in the Autumn of 2012, Silver Run Ranch grew from an idea to connect to a simpler, less hectic life; one that would allow a more intimate connection with the wonder of Kentucky’s rural countryside. The wood for the fence line was harvested from the trees in our woods. The barn shelters were designed and hand built in the fashion of our pioneering forefathers, with rough timber and un-milled

slab boards. Simple mud and straw fills the chinks between boards to ward off the winter winds. Rain barrels catch fresh water for the herd. Solar panels provide electricity to light the barn during early morning or late evening visits with the herd. The end result for the visitor is a feeling of stepping back to an earlier century for a visit with a very gentle and unique animal.

A very sad day.
Farewell, Rebel.

The absolute worst part of animal husbandry, having to put one out of their suffering.
I hope that I gave you a good life, my friend. I’m so very sorry. I just couldn’t let you lay there hurting any longer.
Run free in the Fields of the Lord, Rebel.
Please think kindly when I cross over.

Possible early Autumn weather the start of September.

🍂 LONG‑RANGE MODELS CONTINUE TO FLIP THE SCRIPT TO FALL

About two weeks ago I told everyone that early September was looking like a straight‑to‑fall pattern… and let’s just say the comments did not agree. Even meteorologists from around the country chimed in telling me I was wrong for sharing long‑range guidance.

And listen... I get it. I only share long‑range ideas when teleconnection indicators support the signal.

But now? We’ve got multiple model lining up:

Our climate forecasting system (10–45 day outlooks)
The Long‑Range EURO, finally in range

Both are highlighting a legit cool shot: 10–20° below normal starting somewhere between August 27–30.

Based on the technical indicators, I expect this cooler stretch to last 1–2 weeks before we trend back toward normal, or even slightly above normal heading into late September.

And the dew points?
EURO is throwing out 40s and 50s, meaning humidity basically disappears.

Highs: upper 60s to 70s
Lows: 50s
Vibes: chef’s kiss to end August.

Northern Ohio… fall wants an early cameo. 🌬️🍁

Alpaca farms offer the kind of experience today’s travelers are looking for: authentic, memorable, educational, and rooted in connection.

As agritourism continues to grow, more visitors are seeking destinations where they can meet the people behind local agriculture, interact with animals, shop for locally made products, and enjoy a meaningful farm experience.

For AOA members, that interest creates new opportunities to welcome overnight visitors, increase farm store traffic, and introduce more people to the world of alpacas.

Our latest blog explores why alpaca farms are capturing travelers’ attention, how the RV community fits into this growing opportunity, and how Good Sam can help connect farms with travelers looking for unique places to stay.
