Alpaca Breeders Co-op

of The Greater Tri-Cities

Representing the Alpaca Breeders in the Tri-Cities Washington Area.

We are an association of local ranchers who have joined together to provide:

· Education for new and established breeders

· Joint marketing ventures

· Support with herd management

· Public awareness of the joys of alpacas

Why Alpacas?

Alpacas are raised for their luxurious fleece, which is similar to cashmere, and softer, stronger and warmer than wool.

Breeders enjoy an enviable life style raising these eco-friendly animals.  Alpacas require minimal care, have engaging personalities, and can generate excellent revenue.

Cooperation is a hallmark of our national industry.  Alpaca breeders benefit from shared experiences in husbandry, marketing and education.  

So, perhaps the better question is:  

Why Not Alpacas?
