Celebrate National Alpaca Farm Days In Colorado

POSTED BY
Laura

Alpaca farms all across the country are opening their gates to the public for National Alpaca Farm Days on Saturday & Sunday, September 26 & 27. This is a chance to experience alpacas up-close, feel the alpaca fleece, tour an alpaca farm, view live demonstrations, learn about raising and breeding alpacas and shop for alpaca products.

So far there are two alpaca farms within an hour’s drive or less participating in 2020.

LaZyB Acres Alpacas
47705 E County Road 34
Bennett, 303-644-4110

Open Saturday & Sunday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

During National Alpaca Farm Days you will have plenty of opportunities to interact with your favorite alpaca. The owners can answer your questions about this wonderful livestock, and can sell you alpacas to get you started in the business.

Their alpaca boutique will also be open all weekend with a wide variety of quality alpaca products including socks, scarfs, hats gloves and wonderfully soft throws, as well as yarns, rovings and raw fleece.

Dusty Road Alpacas
34050 Judge Orr Rd
Calhan, 540-229-1706

Open Saturday & Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Working Alpaca Ranch located 64 miles north of Denver with a variety of Alpaca-mature, juvenile and Cria (baby alpaca.) All phases of fiber processing will be demonstrated.

Fiber products available for sale (yarn, roving, batting, raw and washed fiber.)

Alpaca Etiquette

Courtesy the Alpaca Owners Association, Inc.

Alpacas are gentle animals and love to have their picture taken!

Alpacas can spit, but rarely do unless provoked. Luckily, alpacas usually fire a blank warning volley first.

Do

Approach slowly and calmly.

Talk in a calm soothing voice

Keep your hand FLAT when touching an alpaca and pat with the back of your hand. Grabbing them or their fiber makes them think you are a predator.

Touch the alpaca on the top of its back, shoulders, and side of its neck.

Ask the handler what the alpaca prefers — just like people they have personalities with their individual likes and dislikes!

Don’t

Don’t touch or feed alpacas without asking first.

Don’t touch an alpacas head, hindquarters, tail, or toes.

Don’t grab or hug an alpaca. Grabbing frightens alpacas.

Don’t stand behind an alpaca. Like other livestock, alpacas may reflexively kick if you touch their hindquarters or startle them.
