Mayberry Farm is located approximately 8 miles south of the town of Byers on the eastern plains of Colorado.  We are about an hour east of downtown Denver.  We enjoy the wide open spaces and have a fantastic view of Pikes Peak and much of the Front Range on clear days.

Our 37 acres affords us the opportunity to establish an environment conducive to raising top quality alpacas.  The fresh air and open space provide our herd a healthy, relaxing environment.  We gaze out our front window onto the the alpaca barns, corral and pasture area.  We can watch the cria at play as the livestock guardian dogs and llama go about their job protecting their herd of alpacas. 

These fantastic animals offer much opportunity both financially and quality of life.  There is nothing quite like watching a newborn cria get its wobbly legs steadied and take the first steps. 

We have made the decision to focus on Huacaya.   We started with two white girls who had been bred to a wonderful medium fawn male.  We soon added two light fawn females, a mother and daughter.  Both of these females had been bred to a full Peruvian, half Accoyo, top winning herdsire.  The rest, as they say, is history.  Our herd has grown both organically and via purchases.  We continue to strive to improve the herd each year.  We think we are are on the right track.  Our alpacas are proving it through show placements and compliments from fellow breeders.  We continue to plan future improvements and are more than happy to share our thoughts and plans.
