| We are located in the Black Hills of South Dakota |
| The Black Hills are a small, isolated mountain range rising from the Great Plains of North America in western South Dakota and extending into eastern Wyoming. Set off from the main body of the Rocky Mountains, the region is something of a geological anomaly— accurately described as an "island of trees in a sea of grass." It encompasses the Black Hills National Forest and are home to the tallest peaks of continental North America east of the Rockies. The Black Hills have a central core of granite rock, which is what Mount Rushmore is carved from. The Hills extend about 124 miles north to south and 62 miles east to west. The highest peak is Harney Peak, located in the center at 7,242 feet above sea level and is the highest peak east of the Rocky Mountains. The base of the hills is at about 3,200 feet above sea level, which is where we are located. We are an ACBA registered caviary and usually have close to a hundred cavies at any one time. We raise Americans in the dalmatian variety, Texels in the red/white variety, Silkys in the TSW variety, Peruvians in the broken (golden agouti/white) variety, Teddies in the silver agouti variety and Abyssinians in the brindle and roan varieties. We are dedicated to raising healthy, quality show animals and welcome any who share in the fancy or those who are just visiting. |
