Thank you for visiting our website. Eagle Hill Alpaca Ranch is co-owned by Kim Morrison (Brown) & Cynthia Adams (Mother/Daughter). We purchased our first female alpacas November 1999. With more than 40 alpacas in our yard (in 2003), we're a little bit wiser and have a few tales to tell. Kim lives and works in Calgary, while Cynthia lives and manages the farm in Olds. In addition to alpacas, Cynthia also runs a small Warmblood breeding farm and teaches horseback riding lessons (visit Wild Rose Equine Services for more info)
Throughout the years our breeding goals with the alpacas have changed drastically. Today, we have two separate herds with different goals. Kim loves black animals and it is her goal to produce a nice black herd. She has selected black females and although our males aren't black, many of them carry black genetics.
Cynthia on the other hand is trying to develop the finest fleeced alpacas available (at this time, we have super fine fleeced alpacas in white and fawn). Cynthia's goal is to produce ultra-fine-fleeced animals that maintain their fine fleeces throughout the majority of their lives BUT still have good density and staple lengths. Finding such ultra-fine-fleeced alpacas, without sacrificing density and staple lengths, has been quite challenging.
In 2004 & 2005, we had the opportunity to use Tell Trisco in our breeding program. Trisco had a very long staple length and at 2 years of age was still an incredible 16.03 microns!!! ... at the time it seemed almost unbelievable to us!
For the 2006 breeding season, we were ecstatic to have had the opportunity to lease RFA Mousse, another ultra-fine male with excellent density (16.7 microns as a 2 year old!).
In 2007, we were blessed to use Devcote Phoenix (a Vengador grandson with an AFD of 18.69 @ 2 yrs and extreme density!) on a few select females.
In the same year, EH Tristan (our Tell Trisco) son started his breeding career. Tristan appears to be following in his father's footsteps. In his first shearing (at 10 months of age), Tristan's micron was an astonishing 14.71 microns! At 2 years of age, it was still 16.80 microns and at 3 years it is still 18.70! We are thrilled !!!
With the addition of these super-fine genetics, we are confident that we will reach our long-term goals and we're excited to see what the future holds for our breeding program!
