A Family Farm
Alpaca Pasture
Tag Along Alpacas is a family farm. In 2012, after generations of dairy farming and custom tilling, we decided to fulfill a dream of raising alpacas. On August 12, 2012 our first four alpacas arrived and every day with them has been a blessing. They are extremely addictive! We raise Huacaya Alpacas (pronounced whah-kai-ah) in a variety of colors. Tag Along Alpacas, LLC is owned by mother/daughter duo Connie Gsell and Tracy Abram with constant help and support from their husbands, David Gsell and Michael Abram. The farm is over 293 acres of productive farmland, pastures, pond, and woodland, producing corn, soybeans, wheat, hay, and more. In April of 2014 we retired from the dairy business, however, in addition to the alpacas there are beef cattle. Although he is no longer with us, we know that Cowboy is still watching over his herd. Bullet watches the herd from a safe distance - they are not his biggest fans!
Thank You to everyone who has supported us in this amazing experience!
