Serious about Suris

A breeding farm centered on silky fleece

John and Carol Furman operate Carrageen Suri Alpacas in Gray. Their program is built around the distinctive fleece of the Suri, with breeding decisions directed toward fiber quality and useful genetics.

The farm provides information for people considering alpaca ownership while maintaining animals for sale and offering breeding services. Public entertainment is not its central purpose.

Breeding considerations

The fleece qualities Carrageen emphasizes

Suri fleece hangs in defined locks rather than growing outward with the rounded appearance associated with Huacayas. Carrageen evaluates several connected traits as it develops the herd.
