Colorado isn’t easy on animals.
High elevation.
Dry air.
Mud season.
Heavy fly pressure in summer.
Snow lingering well into spring in the mountains.
From foothills to high-altitude farms, Colorado brings unique challenges. With changing weather, rugged access, and shorter seasonal windows, our routing and equipment are built with these realities in mind.
From the San Juans to the plains – we’re built for Colorado.
When Your Colorado Alpacas Are This Cool, Average Care Just Won’t Cut It.
They’re built for altitude.
Their care should be too.

From Our Very Own Colorado Clients!
“The TopKnot crew of Elijah, Nick, and Corbin did a great job working with six llamas at the Walbrun property in Evergreen, Colorado. Each animal received expert care as the crew administered shots, checked teeth, trimmed toenails, and sheared their fleece. TopKnot has performed quality service for these animals for over five years. We appreciate their attention to detail and on-site professionalism.”
“… We have two old grumpy “men” alpacas. Sheering has always been an issue in the 7 years we’ve had them. Seth and his crew were knowledgeable, kind, funny, and patient. Even after a very long day, even with an old, cranky, spitting, touch me not, screaming old alpaca. I can’t say enough good things about how wonderful working with TopKnot has been. Knowing there is a company with such great employees, willing to come help out two funny old alpacas in rural Colorado, is such a relief. I’ll bake cookies next time.”
“Looking forward to seeing you at my farm in Wellington, Colorado.”
