Heart & Soul Ranch is located in the heart of the big sky country in Silver Star, Montana.

Honesty and Integrity are at the heart of our business. We offer only products and animals that we are proud to carry our name.

We have been in the alpaca business since 2002 and have worked diligently to pick our breeding stock from only the top genetic lines coming from all over the United States. We raise both Suri & Huacaya alpacas.

Our Huacaya focus and passion is impeccable fiber in gray. We have worked hard since 2007 in Achieving Grayteness in gray! Our Suri focus and passion is fineness, handle and luster in light colors in order to be able to dye our unique suri fabric. Our goal is that with each generation we are improving in the traits we breed for, solid conformation, soft handling uniform fiber and lasting fineness. We put our Heart & Soul into this lifestyle we call amazing!

We love what we do and love to share it with others. Mentoring new breeders is something we are very passionate about as we believe getting the right start makes a huge difference. The measure of our success is in the success of our clients and we do everything we can to make that happen.

Majestic Meadows Alpacas & Boutique is a family-owned and operated business located in Medina, Ohio on approximately 20 acres. Our love for animals and desire for an investment the whole family could enjoy prompted us to look into the investment potential of raising alpacas and we’ve never looked back!

In 1994 we purchased our first alpaca and since then we’ve included numerous champion-winning and champion producing alpacas. The alpaca business is everything we ever wanted in a family business, allowing us time for family life and time to create a wonderful family business we can all be a part of. We’re proud to say our selective breeding program has blessed us with multiple champion winning and ribbon winning alpacas.

Our goal from the outset has been to be the best we can in both quality of alpacas we produce, sell and raise and in the service we provide. Maintaining that high standard has given us the advantage of producing multiple award-winning alpacas and the opportunity to meet and build life-long friendships with alpaca breeders from across the U.S. We’ve had many successes in the alpaca business over the years and credit much of our success to our wonderful beginning and continued goal to breed and raise the best alpacas.

There truly is no other business we could have ventured into that would have given us the best of both worlds, time for our family and life-long friendships we’ve forged in this business, and the opportunity to start and create a successful business on our own.

Memory M-Acres Farm is located in the New Jersey countryside on approximately 10 acres and is owned and operated by Lisa Collura and Bob Figular.

When we originally came into this industry in 2012, the choice was mostly based on what we considered to be quality of life considerations. Looking back on that decision, we could not have been more right! Whether standing in the ring waiting for a judge to make their final decision or watching a child see an alpaca for the first time, the feeling we get is indescribable. Raising, breeding, and showing our animals has brought such joy into our lives.

When making breeding decisions, we utilize SHIP scores, histograms, biopsies, and show results. Using a combination of science and experience, we continually strive to improve our herd.

While working with some of the country’s top farms, our foundation females were carefully selected and have produced multiple Supreme Champions and Judges’ Choice awards.

In 2019 we purchased 100% ownership of MMALP Goldstar’s Vader, GLR Picasso, and a Herdsire prospect National Supreme Champion RDE’s Maserati Limited Edition. Although our Herdsires are closed, we have several yearlings and bred females available for the discerning buyer.

Memory M-Acres Farm – Making memories, one alpaca at a time.

Raynay Alpaca Farm began their journey in 2008. Wow, what a ride it has been! We love surrounding ourselves with the beauty of farm living and raising these wonderful suri alpacas. We are located in Caswell County, North Carolina and our farm consists of 100 acres and around 70 alpacas — that includes some agistors. We also have a farm store on the property and a bed and breakfast.

Our greatest accomplishment to date is having one of our bred and owned males crowned as a 2x Supreme National Champion Suri Light, Electrofye’s Cosmic Dust (now owned by Midnight Moon Suris). Our vision is to cross our Electrofyre lines with our newly acquired herdsire from the West Coast, Eldora’s Tempo by Rockstar (co-owned with 2 Point and Sie Sutter). As the industry evolves, Raynay evolves in hopes of breeding top notch suri alpacas that would make any alpaca owner proud — huacaya too!!

We have made some wonderful friends throughout the industry and can’t imagine life without these bonds. Our motto IS the GOLDEN RULE. You can bank on our word, and our alpacas! Ray and Candy McMahan.
