The herd comes first
Each fleece begins with an individual animal
OakHill Alpacas presents its animals by role within the breeding program: established herdsires, developing junior males, females, and alpacas offered for sale. That organization keeps the focus on lineage, conformation, color, and the fleece each animal carries.
Joyce and Jerome Calderwood developed the Mays Landing farm around Huacaya alpacas in a range of natural colors. The herd reflects the connection between selective breeding and finished fiber: density, fineness, consistency, and color begin on the animal long before fleece becomes clothing or a household textile.
People comparing breeding programs or fiber-oriented alpacas elsewhere in New Jersey can use the state directory to see how other farms approach their herds.

Read the herd by breeding role
Open a row to see why each group matters within a fiber-focused breeding program.
01HerdsiresEstablished breeding males
Herdsires represent the proven side of the program. Their pedigrees, fleece characteristics, conformation, and offspring help breeders evaluate the traits a male may contribute to future pairings.

Junior males show how the next generation is developing. Fleece evaluation, growth, structure, and pedigree all help determine how a young alpaca may fit into the breeding program later.

Females form the continuity of a breeding herd. Their own qualities, maternal history, lineage, and compatibility with selected males shape both the next cria and the future fleece crop.

From the herd to something useful
-
01
Breed for the fleece
Fineness, density, uniformity, color, and sound structure are considered before the annual fiber crop exists.
-
02
Shear and sort
Fleece is separated by quality and intended use so softer fiber can be directed toward products worn close to the skin.
-
03
Build the textile
Processed alpaca fiber can be spun, knitted, woven, or felted into clothing, blankets, accessories, and gifts.
Online store
Fiber is where the farm meets the customer
OakHill's online catalog extends the herd story into practical goods. The assortment spans warm basics, clothing accessories, home textiles, toys, and gifts, letting shoppers approach alpaca through use and texture rather than a farm itinerary.

Huacaya and Suri do not wear fiber the same way
The coat structure changes both the animal's silhouette and the character of the fiber it produces.
