Alpaca Breeder Farm

---

Welcome to Cria Creations - We're a small farm focused on improving our herds' genetics through careful and selective breeding. Our goal is to create a high standard of American alpacas, while keeping the care and comfort of our animals at the center of all we do.

Our farm is centrally located between Austin and San Antonio, just minutes away from Canyon Lake on ten acres filled with native grasses, cedars, and Spanish oaks. When we first purchased our land, we had no idea that we would be getting involved in the Alpaca Industry. We enjoy working with the animals and expanding our knowledge, from partnering with other farms to learning about and working with the fiber. We believe that one of our farm's greatest assets is the love and care we give our Alpacas. These adoring animals are much more than a business. They not only captured our hearts, but have shown us the path to that peaceful and relaxed lifestyle we've been searching for.

The Alpacas themselves are easy to care for. Their needs are basic...shade, water, food, shelter, and basic herd health. One acre can support up to eight alpacas, making large acreage unnecessary. There are many small farms out there, each with different setups, ranging from simple to complex. What's important is not how fancy yours is, but that it works for you and the animals. We've learned to take things slow, learning as we grow, and believing the more informed today's buyer is, the more successful they will become. We've been in the business since October, 2004, starting with two pregnant females and one maiden, an 8 foot X 16 foot barn, and a small fenced area. We now have 32 animals. The best thing we've done is partner with other small farms, sharing resources and experiences, not to mention a helping hand when needed.
