View Awards Deryl & Bernie Ring, Ring Ranch Alpacas, Saskatoon, SK "Glen and Lynda Finbow are honest and reputable breeders whom we have known for several years. Their passion for the alpaca industry and the welfare of their animals is a clear testament to the quality of their character. They are knowledgeable breeders who provide exceptional support and service to their customers. We are absolutely delighted to know them as good friends and wonderful alpaca breeders." Dr. Norm Evans, D.V.M., Known World-Wide Alpaca Expert, Author and Speaker "It was indeed a pleasure visiting your Split Rock Alpaca Farm. Your farm layout was most impressive as well as the nutrition program that you have established for your alpacas. I have used your fence structure to prevent meningeal parasite in several seminars as well as included pictures in the 3rd Edition Field Manual. I appreciate your hospitality and wish you both continued good health and much success." Rick & Evelyn Derksen - High Plains Alpacas Ltd. - Saskatoon, SK "As alpaca breeders in the industry for over 18 years, we are well assured of the pristine care and management of the alpacas raised at Split Rock Farms Alpacas, plus the alpacas we have sold them (as first we 'screen' the ranch the alpacas are being sold to, prior to the final sale.) The Finbow's ranch passed with flying colors! They care for their alpacas, are dedicated breeders always striving and working for the future of the alpaca industry. "Their ranch is an absolute 'Alpaca Haven', the Finbows truly LOVE their animals. We selected this ranch for boarding one of our females as well, as we know she is in the best care. The Finbows are kind and friendly, just what we like and so do alpacas!" Rick & Gerra Anderson, Gold Star Alpacas, Tilsonburg, ON "Many thanks to you for your generosity of time and knowledge. Our bloodlines have been expanded and enhanced with the addition of our newest boys." Lynda & Greg Watson, Burlington, ON "We can't thank you enough for allowing us to visit your great farm on Saturday. We were so impressed - both with the facilities and the obvious affection you show to your alpacas. It was so much fun to watch Rain with Glen! We've visited about 6 alpaca farms since October and Greg said he'd never before seen alpacas with so much personality as yours. I also appreciate the mini-alpaca course you provided." Larry & Mary Johnstone, Majestic Alpacas, Smithville,ON "Our experience with Glen and Lynda was a positive one right from the start. Their farm was one of the first that we visited when we were just beginning our research into the world of alpacas. Their pastures and barn are clean and well kept, and the alpacas are quite obviously loved and well cared for. Glen and Lynda have been very generous in sharing their home, experiences and knowledge, and are always willing to answer our seemingly endless questions. We purchased our first 3 alpacas from Glen and Lynda, and feel fortunate to have met them. Now we look forward to continuing our journey with our new alpaca friends!" Mena Schnizler, Greenwood Alpacas, Mansfield VIC, Australia "I loved your web page and the opening story...well done...and happy 'alpacaring'." Frank & Lee Mohler, Neville Lake Alpacas, Barrhead, AB "We have had the privilege of meeting Lynda & Glen at several 'Alpaca Events' in both Eastern and Western Canada. As yet, we have not had the opportunity to visit their farm, but after visiting their website,we have learned that they are very dedicated to the alpaca industry. They have gained much knowledge, by attending many seminars and workshops,as well as hosting some.In turn, they are passing their knowledge and support on to other breeders and customers. Keep up the good work, Lynda & Glen."
