Prairieland Peruvian Alpacas is dedicated to the evolution of the alpaca to develop the finest fiber possible. While this is our main goal and that of the alpaca industry, we remain dedicated to improving conformation and creating a pleasant disposition in our alpacas, along with great support - a combination that can't be beat!

Founded in 2003 by Lita and John Murphy while living in New Jersey and agisting our animals, we moved to our own farm near St. Louis in May 2005. We have focused on establishing a small but elite herd of full Peruvian alpacas.
Our farm is dedicated to the evolution of the alpaca to create the finest fiber possible. While that is our main goal and that of the alpaca industry, we continually strive for improved conformation, as well as creating a pleasant disposition accompanied by superb customer support - a combination that can't be beat!

We are there to mentor you in all aspects of raising alpacas, from assistance in developing a business plan to farm layout and pasture management, and of course caring for your alpacas!

We provide free delivery to your farm (to 300 miles)for any alpacas purchased from us, and free shearing services at our farm for the first two years you own your alpacas.

Come visit our farm to witness firsthand the wonderful alpacas we are raising. Once you experience these lovely animals for yourself the temptaion to create your own herd will be hard to resist!

Let us help you make that first step into the alpaca business, or help you as an existing owner to grow your herd with top quality alpacas.
