Oliver is an alpaca with an attitude. Like his mother, Andina, he is one of the few alpacas here that will spit at a person just because he is annoyed at them (like when he's getting a shot!). But don't worry, he probably won't be upset with you when you are feeding him a carrot!

General Patton, born on Memorial Day 2009, shares the dubious title of "Most Ornery" of the herd (with Oliver). Although his friendliness makes him a favorite with visitors, he can also be very stubborn and "spitty" when he's annoyed with us. He's like a child who is sweet in public, but then gives a lot of grief to his parents in private!

Blu's Tres Bon (a.k.a. “Panda Man") is half-brother to Allonsy. His sire is Majestic Deja Blu Obsession, who passed on his beautiful silver grey color and fleece density to Tres Bon. Born in November 2011, he's our youngest alpaca, and still just so cute! He always looks like he's smiling!

Allonsy, ("Let's go!" in French) used to love to get the other crias started "pronking" (galloping) around the paddocks. He also loves to climb up onto the top of the play mound and stand tall. He has thick, dense, crimpy fleece (from his sire, Majestic Deja Blu Obsession).

Tanzanite (“Tanzy”) was a favorite with visitors, as he was very friendly and easy-going, always allowing pets in exchange for carrots. And you would almost always see him with a stick or a leaf in his mouth! He was so handsome and sweet as well. At the end of his life, he lived with diabetes and always took his insulin needles without a fuss. Brave as well as handsome and sweet, Tanzy was the total package.

Marcel Marceau was a sweet boy who is was somewhat shy. One of his favorite pastimes was rolling the stems from "sticky-balls" (sweetgum tree balls) back and forth in his mouth. He was also very vocal during tours, “whining” if another alpaca got too close to “his” carrot!

Casanova's Lightning Strike was our retired herdsire, who had sole breeding privileges among the males here at Jersey Shore Alpacas. Born in 2005, and came to us when he was four years old. His daughters are Cara, Michaela, and Maybelline. Lightning lived a long and happy life here on the farm, passing away suddenly just a few months before his 20th birthday. He took his alpha male status seriously as he enthusiastically competed for carrots from visitors! He loved the orange treats so much that he once underwent a liver biopsy without anesthesia with the help of carrots for a distraction! We miss his spunky personality and handsome face.

Sebastian had the perfect personality for an alpaca. He was laid-back and mellow, and he would allow scratching of his head and neck while enjoying his carrots. Our vet referred to Sebbie as “the nicest alpaca” he ever met. He was born on our farm and lived his entire 16 years here, but left us too soon. His sweet, gentle personality is greatly missed.

Sweet Tiger was our blind alpaca who was a farm favorite of visitors. His calm manner and enthusiasm for carrots won him many friends. We would often bring Tiger out to help people who were fearful when first meeting the herd, and he would put them at ease. Tiger loved to lay out and sun himself, even on a cloudy day. We miss his calming presence.
