Alpaca Breeder Farm

---

At Derwydd Alpacas, we have fifty acres of gently rolling hills, nestled in California’s Capay Valley, just west of Sacramento. Jan Davis, with the help of her daughter, Dale, raises 50 alpacas on a ranch that is also home to an almond orchard. Breeding alpacas and a passion for the alpaca industry are the primary focus on the ranch. For the past ten years, Jan has been raising alpacas and has become known as an owner who strives to breed alpacas of superior quality fiber and soundness, and a tireless supporter of the alpaca industry. The Derwydd herd includes 18 exceptional, full Peruvian dams (both suri and huacaya), ten herdsires, 8 huacaya and 2 suri, currently active in the breeding program
Even with this small number of topflight herd sires and prize-winning females in the herd, Jan has been able to breed a variety of color, outstanding conformation, and award-wining fiber into the crias born on the ranch.
With a number of color champions at all show levels, Derwydd crias are demonstrating Jan’s vision. Jan prides herself in being honest, ethical, and willing to help her customers and other breeders succeed. With sincere passion, she believes in the Derwydd Alpacas tag line, “Where Breeding is an Art,” and she feels breeding for superior fiber should be drawn into every owner’s breeding program.
Jan wants to have fun in this business – and in life. At a vibrant, young 85 years of age, she’s a role model for breeders who not only want to fully enjoy the true benefits of raising alpacas, but who want to promote the success of the entire alpaca industry. Jan loves the alpaca industry and wants others to share its benefits.
