Tryphon's Coraline
Little Coraline has grown so quickly! Her curly, soft, light fawn fiber is lovely, and complemented by darker brown ears, feet, and a couple spots around her eyes and mouth. She has a white face, which I would say places her in the "breed to color" category.
Tryphon's Darlayna
What a beauty! Bright white, with excellent conformation and a beautiful head, Darlayna started small (12 lbs), but has grown well. Attached to her dam, Blessing, it is fun to see our

Foundation Herd
All our animals are for sale--though perhaps not all the time! Occasionally we do pull aside a few of our alpacas as foundational for our herd plans at the present time. And two of our older dams, while not strictly speaking foundation alpacas now, have worked their way into the hearts of our family and we will be keeping them. But we want you to see all of our animals for information gathering on their progeny.

Nonbreeder Alpacas for Sale
For those interested primarily in fiber producing animals or companion alpacas, this category will be of great interest. Breeding stock standards for males are daunting, so males who don't make the grade may still be lovely animals with quite high quality fiber. You may occasionally find non-breeder females or female companion animals as well.
Open Female Huacaya Alpacas For Sale
Maiden and Open females purchased from Tryphon Farm Alpacas are guaranteed to be reproductively sound. Prices on young and/or open females are often substantially less than prices for bred females. Please be aware that prices do rise with maturity and breeding.

North American Alpaca Fiber Producers
NAAFP is an innovative cooperative, helping alpaca fiber produces to maximize profit on their annual harvest of alpaca fiber. With Robin Kuhl at the helm, lots of vision drives the work of product development, coupled with marketing sense. Robin and Carrie Hull have developed their own method of fiber grading and sorting. For quality control purposes, all the fiber used in NAAFP products are certified sorted by those trained or certified in their method. Really an exciting organization!

Journal Entry 11; Spring crias begin to appear!
By Marian Davis
Tryphon's Dream made her appearance right on schedule Wednesday morning, March 18th. Dam Dreaming of Roses took her usual competent, no fuss approach to birthing and nursing, but this time she gave us a girl!
Journal Entry 9; Turning "Try" into triumph--everyday!
By Marian Davis
Taglines are a frequent topic of conversation for me now. With family, friends and other breeders I find myself in discussions that lend themselves to humor and hype, but also to thoughtful reflection on what we are about here.
Journal Entry 8; Alpacas go to school!
By Marian Davis
Four of our huacaya boys took their first trip to school last Friday. Daughter Leanne and I had great fun sharing this experience with younger sister Maria's "Critters" class at Leaves of Learning in Loveland, Ohio. Students and teachers alike enjoyed asking questions and getting a close encounter with these marvelous critters!

Journal Entry 7; Late Summer HEAT!
By Marian Davis
With apologies to those bailing out from record rainfalls, we could really use a cooling rain shower! Late summer and early fall bring days of hot, dry, calm weather...Not terrible really, except for the four months of fiber growth our alpaca friends have produced since shearing. We are breeding for density, of course, but it does seem to bring them a good deal more discomfort this time of year. Even with all the floor fans and
Journal Entry 6; Babies and Breeding, EPD's
By Marian Davis
All but one of our crias for 2008 have arrived. Miss Adelaide is due in 8 days, and I feel bad for her in this heat, though she seems to be handling it okay. Her cria will be our sixth of the year--one male (Cobie) and four females (Camille, Coletta, Charlotte and Cassidy) so far. Yes, we have an alphabetical pattern to our naming of crias!
Journal Entry 5; Crias Arriving!
By Marian Davis
Tryphon Farm's first crias of the season made their appearance this week.
Journal Entry 4 April Follies!
By Marian Davis
April Fools' Day has long been my favorite of the second string holidays. This year, to celebrate, we have concocted a promotion that is designed to provide
quality alpacas at bargain prices for our friends and customers (this means you!).
Journal Entry 1
By Marian Davis
Before the price of barn steel rises soon, we decided to take the plunge and put up another small barn across the creek for our boys. We elected to go with National Barn Company again, and we were not disappointed.
Alpaca Fiber Cooperative of North America
AFCNA is , I think, a brave group! They have weathered several storms, corrected mistakes, and taken lots of criticism constructively--and they are on track now, it seems, to produce and sell at a profit alpaca fiber products made from fiber contributed by members. Check them out yourself, talk to others. We think this organization is worth supporting.
Alpaca Owners and Breeders Association, Inc.
The first alpacas were imported into the United States in 1984. During the several years that followed that first importation, these original Alpaca owners began to meet and discuss the formation of an association. On June 17, 1988, at Shanty Creek Lodge in Bellaire, Michigan, 38 people gathered in a "special meeting" to discuss the formation (including by-laws and articles of incorporation) of what is now known as the Alpaca Owners and Breeders Association, Inc. (AOBA). The basic by-laws were approved in October of 1988, and finally filed in September of 1990. In June of 1991, the Internal Revenue Service, under 501c(5) granted the association a non-profit status.
Alpaca Registry, Inc.
The Alpaca Registry lends strong credibility to the Alpaca Industry through it's careful use of DNA in registering alpacas and validating lineage. Plus, their website offers a wealth of information useful in doing research prior to breeding and animal purchases. There is no better place to begin to familiarize yourself with alpaca pedigrees, gain reproductive information, or investigate progeny and siblings. Registering your own animals and transferring ownership of sold animals is a snap. On the off chance you have a more difficult problem or question, though, I've always been really pleased with the help ARI staff provide by phone.
Camelidynamics; Alpaca Handling and Training
Marty McGee Bennett is one of the best alpaca and llama handlers in the business. Her books and videos are informative, her workshops great. We've learned a lot, our animals have benefitted, and the weekend events are a great place to make connections with other breeders. Marty has developed a training program to allow others to practice and teach her methods. Check out the website!
Dynamite Marketing, Inc.
Because we understand the importance of excellent nutrition for health in all living things, we were excited to discover Dynamite products, and have chosen to become a distributor of these healthful, intelligent products. To the best of our knowledge, the mill in Idaho that produces Dynamite products is the only urea-free, anti-biotic-free, meat and bone meal free and unnatural preservative-free feed mill in the USA. (What is NOT in a product matters as well!)
Ideal Alpaca Community
The Ideal Alpaca Community is a group of like minded breeders who believe in the ultimate potential of the alpaca. We are joined together by common principles and goals. Our collective purpose is to raise genetically superior alpacas that produce high volumes of fine fleece.
