Wings and A Prayer Alpacas was established in 1998 - over 20 years doing what we love! Our original "plan" was to enjoy our animals, the lifestyle they offer, and maybe even make a little "extra" money for our future. Our alpaca adventure started with just one female and has grown to a height of nearly 200 animals over the years. Our current herd consists of approximately 60 animals, mainly suris, and we are committed to raising the bar on the quality of our herd each year when we choose our breedings. 

Prior to alpacas, Randy worked as a Journeyman Mechanic and Barbara was an executive secretary. When our herd kept growing and we were running out of day after working away from the farm and then coming home to "do the alpacas", we realized something had to change - and fast! Randy quit his "paycheck" job in May of 2003 to operate Wings and A Prayer Alpacas full time. Barbara's job was permanently eliminated in July of 2003 and we have been full time alpaca farmers ever since, never once looking back. We feel very fortunate to have found alpacas when we did, and have been able to "retire" from our normal J.O.B. (Just Over Broke!). These animals are our passion AND our livelihood.
