Mountain Dream Alpacas is a member of the Alpaca Owners and Breeders Association (AOBA). Check out the AOBA web site for a wealth of information on Alpacas. Here you will find links to the web sites of Alpaca Ranches/Farms and regional affiliate organizations all across the United States. You can subscribe to "Alpacas Magazine", join AOBA, or request a free information packet. Be sure to check out the Calendar of Events and Regional Special Events links for Alpaca happenings near you.

The Alpaca Ranches of South Central Texas (AROSCT) is an informal alliance of Alpaca Ranches all within about a 45 minute drive of each other. We band together as a group to market Alpacas, put on informational seminars, and attend events like the Scarecrow Festival in Chappel Hill, Dickens on the Strand in Galveston, and the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo.

Mountain Dream Alpacas is a member of TxOLAN, which is a regional affiliate of the Alpaca Owners and Breeders Association. The TxOLAN membership includes Alpaca ranchers in the states of Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas and New Mexico. Check out the TxOLAN web site for links to members in any of these five states, as well as information on TxOLAN sponsored and other regional Alpaca events.

The Alpaca Registry (ARI) maintains the database of all Alpacas that are registered in North America. Anyone that owns a registered Alpaca is automatically a member of ARI and is assigned an owner code. As a non-member you can visit the ARI site and view most of the information available with the exception of the Alpaca database, which is reserved for members only. On the ARI Information page, be sure to check out the Statistics which shows a breakdown of registered Alpacas by color and the number of registered Alpacas in each state of the U.S. and provinces of Canada.

Mountain Dream Alpacas is a member of the Alpaca Fiber Coop of North America (AFCNA). As a coop member we have pledged to send at least half of our Alpaca fiber clip to the coop each year. Our fiber is pooled with fiber from other Alpaca farms and ranches and is processed into Alpaca end products like sweaters, gloves and scarves; or Alpaca yarn used by knitters and weavers. Check out the Fiber Coop's web site for your purchase of quality Alpaca products.

This is the web site for Sandra Shelton's Strength Bank. She is the lady that presented the seminar back in 1997 (read Our Story) which helped spring-board us towards our future of country living and Alpaca ranching.

This is the web site for Kay Haugen. She is the lady that taught the course on visualizing and manifesting your dreams (read Our Story). Her guidance added to what we learned at Sandra Shelton's Strength Bank seminar and gave us the tools we needed to build our dream. Check out Kay's website and order a copy of her book, "From the Poorhouse to the Penthouse". You'll love it!

This is Candace's Holistic Care web site. We strive to provide the absolute best care for our animals. Candace is a Licensed Massage Therapist in Texas and also a Certified Animal Therapist. Her knowledge and contacts help us to decide on what we feel is the best course of action in the care of our animals.

We feel that when medical care is needed, there is a time and place for modern western medicine and also for natural holistic care. Each has it's pros and cons and neither is the best solution for all cases. We strive to use natural care whenever possible; but will always use what is best for the animal.
