Snow Dancer Ranch Alpacas (SDRA) was created as a part time venture in May, 2002. Following an active transition period SDR Alpacas became a FULL TIME ENDEAVOR July 1st, 2005! We boarded our small herd of alpacas at Maplewood Farm where I worked part time for almost four years, gaining valuable camelid experience. There are usually 80 to 100 animals to care for. Maplewood Farm's owner and leader, Nel Vickers, established in the industry for over 20 years, provided professional guidance exceeding any expectations that I may have had as a new breeder.

SDR Alpacas is located on five acres in Charlevoix, Michigan. Most of our alpacas have taken up residence in their new barn and pastures, and a few remain with Maplewood Farm until more pasture can be fenced in.

The SDR Huacaya Alpaca breeding program is built around the full Peruvian genetics of proven grandsires and granddames imported into the United States in the 1990's. The goal is to produce world-class fiber on well-conformed and healthy alpacas. Fine fiber and 100% Comfort Factor is our first priority. Quality before quantity. We also enjoy all the natural colors and plan on adding more patterned animals to the herd.

Nel and I have also joined forces in the operation and management of an alpaca clothing and yarn store called the "Savvy Selection" at Maplewood Farm. The store is turning out to be a great way to provide alpaca and llama related items and to meet and educate visitors about our animals and what they are used for. My wife, Janet, is a retired Cardiac Nurse and helps out in the store on the weekend.

If you are new to alpacas, I can help you get started. I take raising alpacas as serious business, but intend on finding fun along the way. Call us for more information or to schedule a visit: 231-838-1152. Ranch visits are always welcome.
