Introducing Our First Cria of 2008

"Cimmaron Kid of Somerset Farm"

 


Welcome to Alpacas of Somerset Farm

Hi, we are Dianna and Jack Jordan.  We welcome you and hope you enjoy your virtual tour of our ranch.  Our ranch is located in the southern El Dorado County wine country in the foothills of the California Sierra Nevada Mountains.  We are approximately 18 miles southeast of Placerville off of Hwy 50 as it runs between Sacramento and South Lake Tahoe.

We have shared a marriage partnership since 1969 and our transition to the alpaca business is a natural progression of our ever-evolving interests, relationship and life passions. Please read "Our Story" for a brief overview of our journey to where we find ourselves today--alpaca owners and breeders.

Our herd offers a diverse selection of alpaca heritage and style.  Our herdsire and foundation female bloodlines represent the "tried and true" foundation imports and the "up-and-coming' North American bred and born. 

We are committed to the alpaca industry through the building of the North American alpaca herd, breeding quality fiber producing alpacas, continuing education, and on-going support for our customers and alpaca colleagues.  Dianna is on the AFCNA (Alpaca Fiber Cooperative of North America) Board of Directors.  Jack is on the Calpaca (California Alpaca Affiliate) Board of Directors. 

As our business continues to grow, so do the opportunities to do what we like to do most...provide customer service, support and mentoring.  We invite you to spend a few minutes of your valuable time perusing our website.  If you like what you see and read we would appreciate the opportunity to "talk alpaca" with you in person.  We have received so much help, support, and mentoring from other alpaca owners that we would like the opportunity to "Pay It Forward."

Sincerely,

Dianna and Jack Jordan

Our vision is to be a destination point for Alpaca owners and breeders based on the quality of our livestock, our breeding program, and the services we provide.

 

Our mission is to create and maintain a reputation within the industry and among our peers of honesty, integrity, sound business practices, and to improve the quality of our herd--one generation at a time.

 

Our breeding program is built on a foundation of excellence.  Some of the most notable foundation bloodlines in the emerging North American alpaca livestock industry are represented in our females and their offspring.  Included in these  bloodlines are PPeruvian Accoyo Victor, Peruvian Hemingway, 5Peruvian Chaccu, Accoyo Camilio, PPeruvian Demetrio, PPeruvian El Moustachio, to name a few.

 

Our breeding decisions focus on the continual improvement of essential fiber characteristics while maintaining or improving physical soundness in each new generation.

 

Our commitment is to the health and well-being of our alpacas, the building of the North American alpaca herd and fiber production, continuing education (attending and providing), on-going support for our customers and alpaca colleagues, providing a wide-range of services that meet the needs of our customers, and to the fulfillment of our vision and mission.

 

We are the proud and committed owners, guardians, and care-takers of the alpacas at Somerset Farm. We invite you to plan a visit to our ranch.  Whether you are new to alpacas, or already in the alpaca business, we look forward to meeting you in person to share more about the magical, captivating, "steal your heart" alpaca.  Please contact us first.....we wouldn't want to miss you!
