ALPACAS: The worlds finest livestock investment

Thank you for expressing interest in the Mid-Indiana Alpaca Ranch. We are located mid way between Indianapolis and Lafayette on U.S. 52, near Lebanon, Indiana.

At 80 years young, Frank York decided to follow his roots back to the farm and invested in Alpacas. With the help of his niece, Carol Haughton, the herd has more than doubled in size. With growth comes the opportunity to offer these fine animals to others with the same interests.

About Alpacas
There are 2 types of alpacas, the Huacaya and the Suri. The lifespan of the alpaca is about 20 years and gestation is 11 months. Alpacas eat grasses and chew cud. Manure clean-up is easy since alpacas deposit it in only a few spots in the yard. They are about 36 inches tall at the withers and weigh about 150 pounds, are gentle and easy to handle. Alpacas are prized for their luxurious and costly fiber which is harvested by shearing once a year. They are fully Insurable. Alpacas are being successfully raised throughout North America and abroad.
