In 2002, Jane knew we were going to be early retirees. The question was, "what do we do next?".
She knew she wanted to live in the country on several acres, but didn't know what to put on that acreage.
That summer while spending a few weeks at Grand Lake, CO., Jane witnessed a parade with lovely little
llamas and alpacas. As soon as she returned home, Jane started researching what it would take to raise
her own alpacas. Then, at the 2003 International Alpaca Odyssey
in San Diego, we bought our very first lovely lady.
A beautiful white suri by the name of White Fire. A Torbio granddaughter with a gentle loving personality
that she passes on to her crias. Now four years later, after "a few" additional purchases, we find ourselves
with a small herd of 40 suris. Each and every one a treasure.
So by the end of 2003 we were on our way to Lincoln, Nebraska (close to
several of Jane's siblings) and began to build the
Suri Haven Alpaca
Champions Ranch. A year later the Ranch was in
full swing. The past three years has shown us that exceptional genetics, precise
breeding standards and loving healthy care can produce award winning lustrous Suri
Alpaca Champions
each year. The Ranch is home to
champion herdsires
Mac's Legend, Robinson Crusoe, Tiago, Count Chocula
and 35 other award wining Suri Alpacas. The ranch is located in
the middle of America's heartland, just a few miles southwest of Lincoln, Nebraska and the state Capitol, where we breed and
offer some of the most affordable, award wining suri alpacas you may have the pleasure of meeting..... and possibly calling
your own! In addition to award winning Suri Alpacas, we are happy to offer very favorable financing,
multiple alpaca discounts, and great support.
