I started Calidad Alpacas in 2002 with the purchase of three foundation females. My professional background is in business strategy and planning, but it is my lifelong hobby of knitting, specifically the exploration of luxury yarn and other unique fibers, that brought me into the world of these amazing animals and inspired me to start a breeding business. Calidad Alpacas now maintains a relatively small herd of 30-40 with a foundation of about 15 high-quality breeding females.
