Wombat Farm started in October of 1999 on what used to be one of the largest dairy farms in Kentucky. I had invested a lot of time and effort in restoring the farm and decided it was time to put some type of animal on it. I ruled out cows and horses because they are labor intensive, hard on the land and expensive when maintaining fields and fencing.

A friend suggested llamas. The Kentucky State Fair had a llama and alpaca exhibit that year. After looking at both the llama and alpaca, I felt the alpaca was a much better investment. I originally started out with 3 pregnant females. In December of 2002, I added the newest member to the herd, Tamee. In 2004 we packed up the farm and moved 40 miles to Georgetown, KY ( our present location ). This is an experience I would not wish on my worst enemy. It included finding a place for 20 alpacas to live, supervising the house and barn construction and putting up 1 mile worth of fence.

I did not have a farming background, nor did I have a large sum of money to start what is now a very successful alpaca business. I began by financing three top quality females and using a key belief that serves me still today. When breeding or purchasing to increase our herd we strive to choose an animal that excels in both fleece and form.

We have done very well with this philosophy and both local and large breeders have obtained some of our top crias.

We specialize in Suris and dabble in grey huacayas and offer a wide variety of services such as boarding, financing, some transportation and stud services. We look forward to meeting and talking with you and hope you will build your success from ours.
