We are High Plains Alpacas
We are Rick & Evelyn Derksen, we started raising alpacas in the late 80's, we formed High Plains Alpacas in 1991
Our farm is near Saskatoon, Sk. Canada. We have 130 alpacas full range of colors. Our farm is known for breeding our exclusively "High Plains Genetics"
We have selected from Canadian imports and created exceptional alpacas. We are known for various traits that breeders seem to be attracted to.
We have created a line of alpacas that has done very well in the show ring since we started with our simple plan of breeding for exceptional conformation with great heads , fleeces with complete uniformity, fineness and density.
This has payed off well in the show ring as judges have awarded us continually since we began.
We are very excited to share our High Plains Genetics with new and experienced breeders.
We invite you to join us and be a part of the successful High Plains family !

These 2 alpacas also took Champion and Reserve champion in the halter class
and what an exciting finish it was for these amazing High Plains alpacas !
