Delphi Alpacas is a relatively small "hands on" operation; we maintain a maximum herd size of 40 alpacas. The hands belong to Linda Bat and Rus Hinman - with the significant aid of a Great Pyrenees named Spark. Linda was a veterinary technician for 10 years before discovering alpacas. A 1983 graduate of Bel-rea Institute, she has worked with a number of veterinarians on a permanent as well as on a relief basis. She taught the Pima Medical Institute Veterinary Assistant program during it's first 3 years in Denver. Linda also worked as a veterinary laboratory technician for a busy veterinary laboratory in Colorado during that time, with an emphasis in hematology and microbiology. Delphi Alpacas began in 1993. It has evolved with the industry and it has been an exciting ride! |
