      Since the first alpacas arrived in this country, the business of raising alpacas has dramatically grown. That’s because many alpaca owners have discovered the joy of reproducing and creating new life for the betterment of their alpaca business and the industry, as a whole. Once research has been completed, it’s fun to discover the new creation that happens from taking all the wonderful traits from a female and balancing them to the traits of a male in hopes of creating a better cria.  Better, the word means what you want to see improved in your next cria.

     Here, at Quarry Critters Alpaca Ranch, located just outside Gettysburg, PA, we have been researching, discovering and experiencing successful breedings for about 10 years. We are excited to share a wealth of knowledge from our experiences as well as the results of our breeding program with you. Please take a look at our boys and their traits. See which Herdsire at Quarry Critters Alpaca Ranch will balance out the traits in your female alpaca and then allow us to help you find your dream to create the “Better” cria for your business.

This definitely does not sound like the best breeding strategy.
