A few months later, they purchased their foundation herd of 3 Huacaya alpacas. In the almost 10 years that has transpired since then, Merry Den Alpaca's herd has grown to 26. They strive to provide the best care possible to their animals, and to be active members of the Alpaca Industry. The family enjoys the lifestyle that comes with alpaca ownership.
