Our Story
Maryland’s Black Barn Alpacas Ranch is owned by the animal-loving couple Travis and Yussy McManus. Travis was raised on a cattle ranch, and Yussy grew up riding horses—cementing their love of farm life from a young age. The couple lives on the ranch and looks forward to greeting the alpaca herd every morning with nose boops (and an extra handful or two of food).
Travis manages the farm team, and Yussy leads the Y Interiors design team, dreaming up home goods made with genuine alpaca fleece. Together, they intend to expand Black Barn Alpacas, delivering well-bred animals, quality fleece products, and unforgettable experiences. Take it from the experts; there is nothing more rewarding than being able to snuggle up to an alpaca every day!
Alpaca Breeding Program
At Black Barn Alpacas, we are creating a premier alpaca breeding program focused on producing show-quality or “typey” black and gray alpacas through sustainable and caring farming practices. By way of strategic, sustainable, and compassionate breeding, we aim to produce fine-quality fleece, champion alpacas, and a happy herd.
The Shoppe
Shop Locally Made Alpaca Fleece Clothing and Home Goods
We are a real working alpaca ranch, producing some of the finest quality fleece around. After we shear our fuzzy alpaca friends, we turn fleece harvests into one-of-a-kind apparel, home goods, and accessories. Shop our collection of alpaca fleece products and some of our favorite Texas finds. There’s nothing as soft and durable as alpaca fleece!
Meet Galassia ✨
This beautiful 5-month-old rose gray girl is the lovely daughter of Interestellar and Big Daddy Declan.
Here she is giving us a little alpaca education moment—demonstrating how alpacas chew their cud 🦙💭
Alpacas chew cud to get the most nutrition out of tough, fibrous plants. They regurgitate, re-chew, and re-swallow their food, breaking it down even more. As pseudo-ruminants with a three-compartment stomach, this process helps them extract maximum nutrients and moisture, which is essential for their overall health.
Pretty and smart—Galassia is already stealing hearts 🦙💕

Meet Maverick 🤍
Our 11 year old Percheron/dragon cross finally got his moment once the storm passed. Charging through fresh snow with flying hooves and zero regrets, Maverick proved that winter fun belongs to magical creatures too.
Please enjoy his snowy playtime 🐎🐉✨

It was a snowy winter wonderland on the farm this weekend ❄️✨ A magical time that makes you slow down and appreciate the quiet beauty of fresh snow. Alpacas thrive in cold weather, and for some of our babies, this was their very first snowfall! Watching their curiosity and playful exploration- bouncing through the snow—was pure joy.
