ABOUT US
Welcome to AAA Alpacas. We are found in the beautiful water wonderland of the Shasta Lake (Shasta County) area of northern California in rural Cottonwood. Cottonwood is noted for having one of the oldest and largest livestock auction yards in California as well as the Coleman National Fish Hatchery, which stocks our waters with Salmon and Trout. Coleman is the largest fish hatchery in the country.
AAA Alpacas are located about 12 miles south of Redding and 3 miles east of I-5 andthe Outlets Mall. We are a family run business specializing in quality Silver Rose (Rose Grey) and Light Fawn Huacaya alpacas, but also have an assortment of colors for the new buyer and seasoned alpaca breeders.
Along with our Alpacas, we also offer Alpaca clothing and some equipment used for the animals. Our halters are among the best in the industry as they adjust 2 ways to fit just right. Please use the links on the left of the pages to enter and explore all we have to offer here at AAA Alpacas.
