We are acting Sales Agents for Snowmass Alpacas in Sandpoint, Idaho. See their website www.snowmassalpacas.com.
Our twenty (20) acre ranch/ breeding facility is located in beautiful Cedar City, Utah. Geographically we are in the Southwest portion of he state. Craig Sibbett - Manager:
Cedar City, Utah:
Elegante Vellon (Ella-gawn-tay -Vay-own) started in 2005 as not much more than unimproved raw land and a vision.
Raw sagebrush land 2005:
The clearing process 2006:
Today Accoyo Heritage has blossomed into what has become a high quality and beautiful alpaca ranch. The journey to present day has been a long, difficult (yet rewarding) process. One that has definately educated and opened our eyes into the world of alpacas, genetics and the realities of both.
Ranch House:
Barn, Office, Medical, Tool Room:
Ten (10) individual pastures for grazing rotation:
Fall Orchard Grass Hay:
Future Projects:
In the planning phase is an equipment and hay barn along with a breeding facility separate from the main ranch. All males will eventually live and breed at those facilities.
Owners Jay and Patricia Sibbett along with their son Craig Sibbett who is the ranch manager make up the back bone of Accoyo Heritage. Day to day operations and chores are shared. Breeding and business decisions are run around a three (3) person round table on a regular basis.
Jay Sibbett - Owner:
A working pharmacist since 1961 (over 49) years Jay still wears many hats. He continues full time work both as a pharmacist and an alpaca breeder/ ranch hand. His help in getting things accomplished is invaluable.
Patricia Sibbett - Owner:
An entrepreneur in her own right and past business owner, Pat is the back bone of the ranch and family. Many decisions are brought to finality by her sharp mind for business and common sense approach to life.
Craig migrated out of Alaska from a ten (10) year business he owned to take part in this endeavor. He injects his own ideals and vision for what quality alpacas and ranch organization should be.
At the end of the day this unique combination of owners and manager works well. All three are carving out a clear path for success both individually and genetically. Our dreams we see for Accoyo Heritage and the future generations of excellence we create are something that we hope to pursue for many years to come. God willing.
