A full-time alpaca and miniature llama ranch in East TX, dedicated to breeding super-fine fiber from elite alpacas in many colors. I'm a weaver with several looms and process my fleeces into luscious yarn and felt, so I know fiber!
My breeding program focuses on producing elite alpacas and mini-llamas of enduring quality that will provide new breeders with superior foundation stock and experienced breeders with the upgrade genetics necessary to take them to the next level in their breeding program. The central principle is to produce elite alpacas with correct physical structure and fleece of exceptional and persistent fineness. That is, fiber that remains fine and soft even as the animal ages.
I also strive to provide outstanding customer service and personalized mentoring for new owners, so that new clients become long-time friends.
If you do not have acreage, Able Oaks Ranch provides agisting services for boarding your livestock. In addition, my bred-female leasing program enables you to maximize your dollars at start-up and accelerate your herd growth at incredible savings, while developing your ranch facilities. Lease a bred female and own her cria outright. Prices start at $8500. For more info, please visit http://www.ableoaks.com/leasing.html
If you are a fiber or textile artist, please check out the gorgeous 100% alpaca and 100% llama yarns that are made from my animal's fiber in my online fiber store at http://www.ableoaks.com/store/. |

Alpacas and miniature llamas at Able Oaks Ranch are acclimated to the southern climate of hot, humid summers and mild winters. I'll be happy to share info on setting up your ranch facilities to accommodate your herd to the Texas climate. Ranch visits are welcome by appointment. I also host free open ranch day events and educational workshops throughout the year. My "Fabulous Fiber Workshop" fills up fast, so don't be a slow-poke signing up. See the ranch event calendar at http://www.ableoaks.com/events.html |

| | Breeder Biography 10 years showing AKC dogs gave me an eye for good conformation. As a weaver, I have a feel for fiber softness and quality. These skills enable me to select and breed superior animals with elite genetics for luscious colors, softness, and density.
I'm committed to providing excellent customer service and ongoing support. | | | | | | | |
