A Focus on Lingering Fineness
We've always focused on fine fiber in our herd, but we're specifically concentrating on lingering fineness and consistency of that fineness across our herd. Full Bolivians seem to provide the strongest set of genetics in terms of lingering fineness so we are building a Bolivian herd within our herd.
Phobos, our full Bolivian herdsire, has now been joined by 2 additional full Bolivian males to add the needed genetic diversity within our herd. We have also acquired a few additional full Bolivian females to breed specifically to Phobos.
This is a breeding program to keep your eyes on!

Alpacas from MaRS believes in the future of the North American Alpaca.
Whether you are purchasing your first alpacas, adding specific qualities to your existing herd through breeding services, or looking for a mentor to further your alpaca knowledge, Alpacas from MaRS can assist you in your goals! We are a full service, hands-on ranch specializing in fine fleeced Huacaya alpacas. Proud to participate in building a foundation for the fiber industry, we are members of our national co-op, AFCNA, the Alpaca Blanket Project, and Alpaca United.
Our breeding program focuses on fiber fineness and consistency, healthy conformation, and gentle dispositions in a full color spectrum. Our goal is to never get too big that we can't offer personalized care for our alpacas. Knowing each alpaca individually is an important piece of herd management.
We enjoy working with new alpaca owners and existing breeders. New owners can count on us to provide mentoring and first rate customer service. Sharing our alpaca experience is something we love to do!
While searching for our foundation herd we looked for the alpacas that best suited our own breeding objectives. We wanted alpacas with fine fiber and a wonderful handle so we could breed alpacas that fit the demands of the fiber industry. We pay attention to the quality of the fiber our alpacas produce knowing that a quality end product is essential to the future of the alpaca industry. 12 years strong, we are proud of our accomplishments thus far, and we continue to gather new information to further our understanding and practices for even better fleece production.
