Our Alpaca
Breeding Program

Once we set our goal to breed huacaya alpacas, we made the
decision to research lineages and to only purchase the best
that we could afford. We were not going to buy cheap, imperfect
animals to quickly give us babies to sell. We are in this
business for the long haul and decided to build on the best
from the ground up. From that decision our foundation line
was created, with lineages that read like the "who's
who" in the alpaca world: names that create legends worldwide
such as: PPPeruvian Royal Fawn, PPPeruvian Kenamori Gold,
Peruvian Macusani, Snowmass Invincible, 4Peruvian Legacy,
Crescent Moon's Rayo Del Sol and Checkmate, PPeruvian Caligula,
Danko and Hemingway.
We are proud of the herd we have cultivated and continually
strive to improve each generation's fleece characteristics,
always striving to have the brightest, densest, crimpiest
and finest fleece on each and every animal. Please visit our
herdsire page for information
and pictures of the phenomenal males standing in our Stellar
Stud barn.

Customer Service
BGF offers 24/7 customer service whether you buy animals from us or just
happen to visit or call our farm. We understand that there will be "odd"
questions at odd hours! We both have extensive customer service backgrounds
and understand the importance it plays whether you are a newcomer to the
business or a veteran breeder with a unique circumstance. Having had the
benefit of dealing with numerous pioneers in the U.S. alpaca industry,
and realizing that their huge success is directly related to their outstanding
customer service, we are committed to building on their experience and
examples to ensure our farms' success by passing on their tradition of
exemplary customer service to everyone we come in contact with. We are
always available to share our experiences of how we handle specific situations
in the care of our alpacas with anyone who contacts us, however, this
information is our experience only and is not intended as a replacement
for veterinary advice and care.
Terrie's
background in nursing and Greg's extensive background in design and building
enable us to assist in all aspects of alpaca care from barn design to
medical issues. We are committed to help new breeders get started on the
right track by offering the Bear Garden "starter kit," to any
customer purchasing their first alpaca(s). The kit contains halter, lead
rope, feed pail, 50# of grain (specialty blend of renowned camelid expert
Norm Evans, distributed by Southern States Co-Op), bale of high quality
orchard grass, a "bean" scoop & rake, nail clippers (and
demonstration on how to use them), a health maintenance kit which includes
needles, syringes & a bottle of Dectomax (per BGF protocol, given
1st weekend of each month for prevention of Meningeal worm-check with
your local vet for recommendations in your area). Terrie will provide
instruction on how our farm administers basic vaccines/shots as well as
our vaccine schedule. Greg is available for recommendations on pasture
&/or barn design. All animals are sold with up to date vaccines and
a detailed medical history available on CD for farms using AlpacaEase/HerdEase
software or a printed version for others. We also offer free delivery
within 200 miles of our farm. All animals purchased from us receive free
boarding for 60 days and reasonable agisting fees apply after 60 days.
