"Your alpacas are the healthiest we've seen!"   "Your herd is very calm and friendly."  -common remarks from our visitors/clients

Double 8 Alpaca Ranch always keeps the health and well-being of our alpacas a top priority.  Double 8 Alpaca Ranch uses a respectful and low-stress handling technique that teaches our alpacas balance allowing them to always feel safe and secure.  We use a combination of techniques learned through training with Marty McGee Bennet and Linda Tellington Jones' TTouch.  

We often are asked, "How do you know so much about breeding, genetics, fiber, veterinarian care, training, showing, etc.?"  - At Double 8 we take a serious approach at training ourselves and keeping current with all aspects of maintaining a top knotch alpaca breeding and fiber producing operation.  By attending neonatal seminars, hosting genetics presentations, fecal analysis and parasite control clinics,  volunteering in fleece collection and preparation, initiating and managing pen sales and educational events, to initiating and managing the first New Jersey  Alpaca Community AOBA certified level 3 show, the New Jersey Alpaca Classic (NJAC), Double 8 stays at the forefront of the alpaca industry. 

We have earned a respectful reputation by standing at the top of the class at every show competing against the most respected farms.  We have a show quality herd of alpacas who maintain a healthy fleece with lingering fineness. 

It's not uncommon to see us transporting alpacas for our clients, assisting them with herd health questions, providing training for them and their herd, and providing other consultative services.
