Alpaca Breeder Farm

---

KeLe Alpacas is located 20 miles east of Green Bay, WI. Owners and operators, Keith Bancroft and LeAnna Franklin invite you to enjoy these works of living art. Whether it's watching them nibble the fresh new dandelions in the spring or the baby races in the fall, you can become a part of the alpaca experience at KeLe Alpacas. With 38 Huacaya alpacas, KeLe Alpacas offers a variety of colors to choose from as you develop your herd. Both Keith and LeAnna believe in satisfied, happy customers and will work with new owners before and after purchase to insure a successful alpaca experience.

KeLe Alpacas offers quality breeding stock and services, well trained fiber/pet quality animals, raw and processed fiber, boarding, shearing, and customer support. Our breeding goal is to breed for the best fiber coverage, fineness and density while maintaining the variety of colors. Great conformation is also a must as we breed for animals that we believe will provide the alpacas that truly do 'create living art lifestyles!' That lifestyle at KeLe Alpacas is evident in the old log building housing KeLe's Alpaca Store. We create one of a kind alpaca and alpaca/wool creations and carry a beautiful line of imported alpaca sweaters, coats, hats, gloves and scarves. The loft area is LeAnna's fiber studio where you will see weaving and spinning projects. Visitors are always welcome to sit down and try their hand at weaving and spinning this wonderful fiber. Besides the fiber and fiber products, we also create and sell handmade soaps, lotions and other body products.

If alpaca experiences are what you want, we do an Alpacas the Fun Side workshop when you can spend a fun and relaxing day with the alpacas. We halter them up and go for walks, picnic in the pasture with them and watch the new cria explore their world. For the more serious alpaca breeder just getting into the business, we offer a NEW Alpaca Basics Clinic with one other farm. In this clinic we hope to answer your questions regarding start up costs, fencing, evauluating alpacas for purchase, feed, fiber charateristics, shearing and more.We talk about the financial benefits of alpaca ownership and a variety of ideas and startup experiences are shared by the two participating farms.

Special events are also enjoyed at KeLe Alpacas. We do a Spring Shearing Day in May inviting the public to watch the alpacas being sheared and the process the fiber goes through to finished product. The Saturday of Labor Day weekend we have our Day on the Alpaca Farm with opportunities for the public to interact with the alpacas. There are demonstrations, hand-on experiences, live music, food and vendors with wonderful one of a kind work for sale. Carrying on the 'living art life style' we have a Holiday Sale beginning the Sunday before Thanksgiving and running for 2 weeks with over 60 artists' work available for sale in our log building.

Come and join us at KeLe Alpacas. Whether you are an established breeder or just looking to get into the business, we would welcome your visit.
