Alpacas at Marquam Hill Ranch is an 18 acre ranch on Hwy 213 in Molalla, Oregon. We are directly in between Molalla and Silverton. We have 50+ huacaya alpacas. Huacaya alpacas look like teddy bears. We breed our animals for the fineness of their fiber, with a soft handle and good density. Our goal is to create a long term fineness in all animals that mimics the feel of cashmere or better. Presently more than half our herd is under 22 micron. We have both white as well as a variety of other colors of alpacas. Presently there are 22 colors of alpacas as defined by the Alpaca Registry.  Bill is an AOBA Certified Fleece and Performance Judge. His education helps in the purchases and breeding of our alpacas. In the future we will be holding many classes from fleece evaluations, breeding selection, business plan write ups, to fiber arts. If there is a topic you’d like to learn about, we’ll find the instructor and create the class. Or you can just stop by and we would be happy to answer your questions. We have a large fleece room dedicated for presentations and a ranch store for a quick pick up gift for yourself or someone special.

Our herd consists of six studs we either fully own or own in partnership. They are Snowmass Trilogy, Crescent Moon’s Ezekial, Crescent Moon’s Elizario,  Accoyo America Kodiak, Nirvana of AMHR, and Denver of AMHR.

We love to talk about these amazing animals. Whether it is a question on how to get started, breeding questions, animal husbandry, the investment aspects ( Bill is retired CPA) or anything else that you might be interested in, please feel free to stop by, give us a call or drop us an email.
