Stone Bluff Farm is a small family farm located on 25 acres in the rolling hills of eastern Missouri about 50 miles west of St. Louis. It has been in existence since 1988 when husband and wife John Macfadyen and Carol Hudgens moved to this rural area to own and raise pleasure horses for trail riding and to enjoy a relaxed country lifestyle. We love the daily hands-on care of our animals and the peaceful rural life on our farm. We have remained active in trail riding over the years and still enjoy riding the trails around our farm and at various county and state parks. Our farm currently is home to 4 pleasure horses, 2 miniature horses, 1 miniature donkey, numerous dogs and cats, and is now home to a small but growing herd of huacaya alpacas.

We first learned about alpacas and the alpaca industry in 2004 and began researching this interesting livestock business and visiting a number of large and small farms. We quickly fell in love with these beautiful, graceful and charming animals and with the idea of owning and breeding them. We also realized that the profit potential of this business, as well as the tax benefits, make it a good investment

We started our alpaca farm and business in 2005 with the purchase of four females, each carefully selected on the basis of their bloodlines, fleece characteristics, and conformation. To view photos, lineage, and more information, view our alpaca herd. As our herd continues to grow, we base each new breeding decision on the same high standards of exclusive, highly sought bloodlines, desirable fleece characteristics and conformation. To see the herdsires that we are using and pending births, view our expecting crias.
 

We are now experiencing the alpaca lifestyle and it suits us very well, and we are looking forward to an enjoyable, rewarding and profitable venture. We like having visitors to our farm, so if you are in the area just give us a call and come by and see for yourself how irresistible these lovely animals are.
