Five-foot fences corral two of the Suri alpacas that are raised and bred at Coldwater Creek Alpacas, located on Younger Road. The animal feed on pasture grass and their characteristic jumping is called "pronking."

The alpaca is an unusual and wonderful animal, say Mary and Norm Zahn, who founded Mercer County's first alpaca farm, Coldwater Creek Alpacas, a year ago. [
