Our farm's expertise in genetics is unique in the
industry, Dr. Andrew Merriwether is a geneticist
who studies human and animal population
genetics and evolution. Dr. Ann Merriwether is
developmental psychologist who has taught
genetics for years.

Our herd is full Peruvian, many full accoyo, all
show quality from amazing bloodlines. We offer
free genetic consulting on breeding with any
animals purchased from Nyala Farm Alpacas. Let
us help you make the color and quality alpacas you
want to make.

We love genetics but we love every aspect of the
alpaca industry. We really enjoy the family
orientation of the industry. We love going to alpaca
shows and meeting other farms. We show our
alpacas in halter, fleece, and performance.

We are "fiberholics" We love alpaca fiber and use
our own fiber to make hats, slippers, Christmas
items (stockings ornaments and Santa dolls) We
can teach spinning, dyeing, and especially wet and
dry felting. We can help you use your fiber!
We lead an alpaca 4-H group which meets at our farm. We are kid friendly and think there is nothing better for family farms than raising alpacas!

For added fiber fun we also raise Wens
