Ponca Hills Alpacas

05/25/2026

We are still looking for a few helping hands tomorrow at Ponca Hills Alpacas as we prepare for and clean up after shearing day. 🦙We could especially use a few extra volunteers to help make the day run smoothly, and we’re so grateful for everyone willing to lend a hand.
Jobs may include:• gathering fiber after shearing by getting down on the mats with the alpacas
light cleanup• assisting with moving animals and materials where they’re needed before shearing starts• putting bags of fiber away• spending time with alpacas 😊

No alpaca experience needed — just a willingness to help and enjoy the animals.

I truly appreciate everyone who has already stepped in to help support our little farm and alpacas. ❤️

Message us if you’d like to help.

Tomorrow is Memorial Day and also my birthday. 💚

Instead of gifts, I could really use a few helping hands at the farm.

Running a small alpaca farm is beautiful, rewarding, exhausting, meaningful work — and right now we are getting ready for shearing. The alpacas depend on us to keep them healthy, comfortable, and safe, and this season really takes a village of support to make everything go as smoothly and stress-free as possible for both the animals and the people caring for them.

I’m looking for a few people who would enjoy spending time with alpacas while helping with things like:• Raking up hay in pens so the alpacas don’t roll in it and get it tangled in their fiber• Helping gently hold alpacas while burrs and hay bits are picked from their fleece• General pen cleanup

Then on Tuesday, I especially need help during shearing with gathering fiber into bags as each section is shorn. It’s simple hands-on work — no special knowledge or experience needed.

Supporting a local alpaca farm means helping care for living animals and preserving valuable fiber that can be turned into products used to help feed, care for, and support the alpacas themselves. Every bit saved helps our small farm continue doing what it loves.

This isn’t the kind of experience you find just anywhere. You’ll be on the edge of the woods surrounded by peaceful animals, helping care for a small farm in a quiet, meaningful way. It’s a chance to slow down, breathe fresh air, and spend time doing something real and grounding.

No experience needed. Just kindness, patience, and clothes you don’t mind getting a little dirty and dusty. 🦙

Message me if you’d like to come help for even part of either day.

Usually the Big Boys eat their feed in containers hanging outside on the fence, but with impending storms, they have been getting it inside, which is why they’re very suspicious and following Larry slowly. And as usual Re*****on is the last to come in.

This little guy’s family bought our new ‘You and Me’nesting container kit. Designed to be done together as a simple way to slow down, and support  nature:
fill your nesting container kit with Alpaca, Fiber and Watch. The birds gather the materials. This has the nest and container. The one he’s holding up is our handmade heart shaped one or some type made out of grapevine and you also get a Alpaca Fiber, all natural Jute cord and a stuffing tool to be able to push it in to the container 

He’s holding up a completed hand made silver heart which is already filled.
