Colorado Alpaca Breeder: About Us at Fischer Farm LLC Alpacas of Colorado

It has always been a dream of mine to live out in the country, and own enough land so that I can have any kind of animal I want, and have as many of them as I want! Chris's dream was large heavy equipment, translated - tractor! So we purchased a beautiful 7 acre farm in Berthoud Colorado in October of 2002.

Now the dilemma, what kind of animals do we want? We sorted through all the typical farm animals, pigs, cattle, horses (my original desire), sheep, goats, etc. and ruled each of them out for various reasons. We were considering Llamas, when a friend mentioned alpacas to us. We had never even heard the word alpacas before, Chris had to keep answering my question, "Now what were those small Llamas called?"!!

Well, I've always been the type of person that knows it when I see something I like, and the second I laid my eyes on an alpaca, the decision was made. We did some minimal research, enough to enlighten us to the tax breaks alpacas provide, and purchased our first alpacas December 30, 2002. Then in January 2003, we joined local and national clubs, and established our business!

Fischer Farm LLC, Established: January 2003

Chris and I are the perfect example of the technical type, escaping to the peaceful country life! Chris holds a degree in Physics, and works as a Software Engineer. I have a degree in Computer Science, and work as a Systems administrator. I'm also an avid student of animal behavior, and love to find stimulating outlets for my creativity, such as designing web sites!

Neither Chris nor I had any clues as to how to run a farm! But, as you will find out, alpaca people are some of the nicest, most helpful people around. Through the guidance, (and patience) of fellow alpaca breeders, we were taught the basics, and to trust our instincts, and apply common sense. And, alpacas are the easiest, and most forgiving of animals, and have also taught us well ... they are still teaching us! Even though we are still learning every day, we have settled in to this wonderful new lifestyle, and we both know that this is where we want to stay!

Committed to Alpacas:

Chris and I are both animal lovers, and as such, we are committed to the animals in our care. We strive to constantly learn the best ways to care for alpacas, and meet their needs. We will always provide the highest quality care and attention to alpacas, treating them with kindness, patience, and respect. And, we will strive to see that quality care will continue even after an alpaca has left our farm (through support and education).

Dedicated to you:

Chris and I are dedicated to you, the future caregivers of our wonderful alpacas. We will provide ongoing support and education to aid in your success, and in the happiness of your alpacas! . In the alpaca world, we have met, and continue to meet, wonderful people that have taught us much, and willingly shared experiences with us. We pay it forward! Everything that we learn, and all our experiences we share freely with anyone that is interested! All we ask is that you do the same ... pay it forward!
