Thank you for visiting our website! We're Rick and Cindy Hartley of Red Moon Alpacas. As you navigate these pages, we hope you'll find something that makes you smile - something that triggers your understanding of why we're still so enamored with these beautiful creatures. We're extremely grateful that the alpaca business is our life's path. There's nothing else we'd rather do. Not only has it been financially rewarding, but this endeavor has enriched our lives in much deeper ways, as well. Just try to be uptight and distressed when a cria comes up to rub noses with you - it can't be done!

We've been in the alpaca business for quite a few years now -- long enough to be able to offer advice from the best school in town, the school of experience. We've made our share of mistakes along the way and we certainly still don't have all the answers, but we've grown in knowledge with each experience.  In addition to the years of ownership that provide a certain level of understanding, we have made the commitment to further our alpaca knowledge every step of the way, still traveling far and wide to learn from some of the best camelid experts in the country.

If you're considering entering in to the alpaca business, we welcome your enquiry. We take our commitment to new breeder education very seriously. If you're an established breeder, you'll immediately recognize the results of thoughtful breeding decisions over the years, creating a high quality herd that will offer our clients a solid, healthy investment for years to come. We treat our alpacas with gentle and patient hands, which is apparent when you come to visit. Our alpacas thrive in an environment where they feel safe, physically AND emotionally. They also greatly benefit from our strict herd management procedures, from nutrition to detailed recordkeeping, and everything in between.

If you'd like further information about getting into the alpaca business, alpaca sales and the availability of upcoming cria, herdsire services by our award winning males, or brokering services to sell your alpacas for you, please give us call. We'll never put pressure on you with sales tactics, and will freely share our experience to assist you in making informed decisions about your future. No bull here, just alpacas!
