A much needed update is in store, but first we’ll share a picture of two new fleecy friends joining our program starting this weekend and beyond 🦙❤️ Brief intros below…👀 Let’s have a fun weekend!

Showing this weekend for us:

Duchess Cramerly - Back to showing as black!

Sugarland’s Seaglass - A gorgeous Dominant’s Ricochet daughter with Amber Autumn and CCNF Legionnaire lines!

Sugarland’s The Dance by Challenger - Her sire needs no introduction. A cute phenotype, and fine fawn girl with notable names like Paso Robles, Jumanji, and The Elite Maximus!

Happy National Alpaca Farm Days weekend! We enjoyed the harvest moon views as our family is heading into the fields for harvest season. 🌽

We are excited as we prepare to travel in 18 days to the 2026 Alpaca Fall Spectacular with Duchess to show her one last time as a 2 yo female. We are also getting some new additions that we cannot wait to introduce...👀

Below are some recent pictures and videos highlighting Duchess and her maternal half brother, who we've decided to name Poseidon.

Local friends! (Iroquois, Kankakee, and Vermillion Counties) Have you wanted to get your youth involved with livestock? Well, we have a unique opportunity for you! Alpacalyptic Farms is expanding, and we believe we have some alpacas that would do well as youth projects for those with and without the space for them.

We are considering opening up mentorship for one student this year that is looking for a 4H or SAE project through FFA.

Opportunities look like the following:

Livestock Ownership - Fully own alpacas, whether boarding one at our farm or having a small herd of 2+.

Placement/Farm Experience - Don't have the space for an alpaca? Come to our farm to help with chores, learn about their care, assist with herd health and recordkeeping, etc.

Showing & Training - Work with our young alpacas on training and handling for the show. If you want to show in halter or youth classes, we can get you involved.

Fiber & Agribusiness - Buy our fiber at a cheap cost to process and build your own fiber product line. We will happily mentor and give ideas to help start your business. If you make enough product, we just might be able to help you sell it too!

Animal Science & Breeding - If you're interested in a veterinary career or want to see the breeding side of our operation, we will happily have you come to our farm and learn more OR you can own your own herd and we can help you get started!

** If your student is interested in an opportunity like this, please message us directly! We would be happy to chat and educate.

Lastly, Tammy Hamlin is our lucky winner from our cria countdown!! We will be PMing you soon to set up a date to see our lovely new crias. Thank you for participating!

Cria #2 is here…and it’s another boy! 💙

He is much lighter than our other Tritan crias, a much closer copy of his dam and sire. Josh called that it was going to be a light baby born on Sunday. We’re thinking of calling him Sunny! ☀️

Oh, and he outweighed his half-brother (still unnamed) at 20.6 lbs! 😳 Welcome to the world, big guy.

08/20/2026

So, we may have made a slight mistake...

Cria #1 is actually a boy! While not what we originally thought, we are beyond blessed to have a solid-boned, healthy boy with some interesting coloration. He's showing signs of gray, which Tritan has proven to pass down. I won't call him that yet and time tells with alpaca fleece color anyway. One thing I do know...he's cute as a button!

Pandora has been a rockstar for us and she has struck yet again. She was named P PANDORA'S BOX to illustrate the wonderful possibilities she can produce, and she has absolutely lived up to her name. Her offspring have had a spectrum of color ranging fawn to dark, with spectacular fine fleeces in her offspring.

That being said...we're also looking for name ideas starting with 'P,' comment below!

08/16/2026

Wondering when our cria update was coming? Well, here it is!

P PANDORA’S BOX x HFAR & KVR’s Peruvian Tritan

Pandora delivered a spunky 17.8 lb **boy around 10:00 AM this morning (08/16/2026). We’re not sure of his color completely but we’re going to call him dark brown for now. Pandora had a textbook delivery, and this little guy has been energetic and already so curious about the world.

Videos to come soon!

As we prepare for our new crias (no signs yet), I wanted to reintroduce a sweet mother-daughter duo that we are currently selling at Alpacalyptic Farms to make room in our small breeding program. Package deal for the month of August!

Gypsy - Medium Fawn Female (DOB: 8/31/2016)

Gypsy is a lovely girl that we have had on the farm since her birth. She has always been a gentle soul that would happily greet folks at alpaca yoga events. Despite her daughter being almost 2 years old, she maintains a close relationship with her. I think she is very similar as a mother compared to her own dam, who even when she didn't have her own cria, would happily step in as a nurse mom. She is a versatile female with several good years to give and she would be great for a youth showman looking to get into alpacas!

Lady Zingara - Dark Brown Female (DOB: 9/22/2024)

Lady Z is an inquisitive and curious young girl that will be ready to breed herself soon. I also think she would make a companion with her mother. She would be a great project for someone getting into alpacas, as she's been to shows but could use extra handling. She has very solid confirmation, full coverage of fleece, and a solid staple length for fiber processing.

Local 4H/FFA Students!!
For youth looking to get into alpaca projects-whether you're interested in having a few for pets, utilizing their fiber, or starting your own breeding farm-these two registered and healthy girls are a fantastic starter package! I am happy to mentor for free.

What a quiet, calm morning for the alpacas ❤️ We are 6 days away from Pandora’s due date! Could be any day now.

07/30/2026

Last day to guess for our cria countdown! Don't miss out on the chance to see these sweet creatures and their babies. Pandora is due August 9th, and C.C. is due August 13th!

07/29/2026

Due August 13th, Cosmic Ceres, aka "C.C." is another soon-to-be-mom to celebrate.

Born in 2016, she is another long-term resident of the farm that we have watched grow into a foundational female in our herd. Her dam, Leathal Weapon's Calla, is our bay black female that produced numerous crias for us and resides as our herd matriarch. Her sire, like Pandora, is MFI Peruvian CandyMan.

Her first cria is Celestia's Aura out of Tritan. We are awaiting her second Tritan cria very soon!
