WHAT IS THIS AREA CALLED THE PALOUSE
The Palouse is depicted in the book The Most Beautiful Place in the World, Impressions of 10 Master Photographers edited by Jay Maisel, as the Louvre of Farmlands. There was also a National Geographic Magazine cover story called A Paradise Called the Palouse, that featured our area. The word Palouse may have been given to the area by French fur trappers describing the rolling hills as a grassy (pelouse) lawn.

WE HAVE BEEN BREEDING ALPACAS with care to top bloodlines since 1994. Our offspring have been taking awards for their fleece and conformation. Whether you are early in the learning process and seeking information, or shopping for females or studs to complement your herd, we can help. Come visit our ranch and we'll share our success.
We are looking forward to retiring from alpacas by the end of 2010. We have some high quality males and females for sale with package pricing incentives. We created Premier's Absolute, one of the nationally acclaimed rose grey herdsires, and have full siblings and close relatives, both male and female, available for sale.
Visitors are welcome to stay in our guest house.
