Havenfield Farm

Havenfield Farm Experienced, knowledgeable alpaca breeder. Each alpaca at Havenfield Farm is MORE THAN JUST ANOTHER FLEECY FACE!! Animals and farming make up the life we love.

Raising happy, high quality alpacas since 1999 with multiple Champions in halter, fleece and hand spinning Also raising Kunekune pigs for breeding, companions, pets, and sustainable homesteading meat production The alpaca industry has provided us the ability to combine our love of animals, fresh country air, and being able to meet some of the nicest people in the world, from very diverse backgrou

nds, while supplementing our income. After a stressful day at work, there is nothing more relaxing and therapeutic than walking into the barn and interacting with our curious and peaceful alpacas. We interact with our alpacas on a daily basis and strive to provide a stress free, pleasant environment for them to live in. Our goal is to provide high quality breeding stock and high quality natural fleece for yarn and finished products. Our focus is primarily on the huacaya alpaca of darker colors such as maroon, gray, and black, but we maintain a variety of lighter colors on the farm, and a few suri alpaca as well. Each animal is DNA tested for parentage, BVDV PCR tested negative, microchipped, and registered with the National Registry for alpacas. We primarily have show quality stock, but always have some fiber and pet quality animals available for purchase. Our foundation males and females hail from the top bloodlines from across the US and from Canada. Many are Blue Ribbon Winners and Champions from top shows in the country in halter competitions. We also realize the wonderful value of the alpaca fleece, so we enter many of our fleeces into high level shows, and enter the Handspinner's competition with many of our animals to show the quality of product we are producing as well. We have won many Championships and Blue ribbons in these categories also. Come for a visit and you will see why we consider each animal here at Havenfield Farm MORE THAN JUST ANOTHER FLEECY FACE!!!

The real commitment begins when they’re no longer the tiny piglet everyone falls in love with.

Love them when they’re bigger. Love them when they’re older. Love them for exactly who they are. 🤍

Great safety tip regarding hot hay!!!!

We are seeing hay fires in the area and I have this past week been farm sitting at a farm where freshly delivered hay was really warm. I notified the owner immediately and got those bales out of the barn.

Hay spontaneously combusts when excessive moisture (usually 15-20% or higher) triggers rampant bacterial growth and microbial respiration within tightly packed bales. This biological activity generates trapped heat and flammable gases, which act like a simmering pot and can eventually cause the hay to ignite.

The process unfolds in three primary stages: Microbial Action: Plant material continues to respire and break down shortly after baling. Moisture allows aerobic bacteria and fungi to thrive and rapidly multiply.
Heat Trapping: Because hay is a highly effective insulator, the heat generated by these microorganisms is trapped in the center of the bale. As the temperature rises above 130°F, heat-loving bacteria multiply, pushing internal temperatures even higher.
Exothermic Reaction: Once temperatures surpass 150°F to 175°F, a runaway chemical reaction takes over. If oxygen is present, the hay can reach its autoignition point (over 400°F) and burst into flames.
Warning Signs of Heating Hay: Most spontaneous hay fires occur within the first two to six weeks of baling. Be on high alert for: Strong, unusual caramel, musty, or burning odors.Visible v***r or smoke rising from the stack.Bales that feel noticeably hot to the touch.

Temperature Safety Thresholds:The North Dakota State University Agriculture Extension provides clear guidelines for handling heating hay:
150°F: Beginning of the danger zone. Monitor temperatures daily.
160°F: Highly dangerous. Inspect the stack and take temperatures every four hours.
175°F: Imminent fire risk. Call the fire department immediately and do not move the hay (exposing hot spots to fresh oxygen can cause it to instantly burst into flames).

Be aware of your hay tempatures, stack away from where livestock is kept if possible. Have plan to handle in case of a fire.
