Testimonials
Here's what breeders are saying about Version 5... |
| Thank you so much Ellen. Your responsiveness is world class and deeply appreciated. I feel I have bought a programme from a friend and not a company.
Add me to your testimonial list if you wish! -Damien Dyar Burren Alpaca (Ireland) damien.dyar@burrenalpaca.com |
| I am having fun playing with my trial AlpacaEASE and will be going ahead to buy it. I am not a computer-using fan (I would rather be outside) and for me to be able to get around within alpacaEASE just by following my nose or thoughts, is great, so it must be user-friendly! I am looking fwd to getting familiar with and using many of the nifty things it can do ! I have already recommended it to several other alpaca-breeding friends here. -Denise Moysey Arcadian Alpacas (Australia) denise@arcadian-alpacas.com.au |
| Thank you so very much for your time and patience working with me to update and re-install my AlpacaEASE program into my computer.
Between my schedule, playing phone tag and me being sick with a cold, after three days we did manage to get every thing straightened around and up to date. I really appreciate how you always return my calls and help me thru any questions or problems I might have. Again, Thank you so very much, you are wonderful! -Noreen Vaughan Arizona Alpacas alpacalady1@q.com |
| Thanks so much for all your help and patience. I REALLY appreciate it. -Mary Ann Stroka A Stroka Gene-Us Alpacas paintinlady1@yahoo.com |
| I purchased HerdEASE today and truly appreciate the ease of use, custom reports and your terrific customer service! Thanks so much and I've recommended your software to my latest customers already. -Sara Davis Oak Hollow Livestock csdavis@oakhollowlivestock.com |
| Your program is so user friendly. I wish all software was as well written as yours. Thank you for such a great program. Keep up the awesome work. -Dave & Karen Galbraith Walnut Creek Alpacas galbraith@walnutcreekalpacas.com |
| I LOVE this software!!! -Micki and Matt Colloton Steelhead Ranch Alpacas mickic@steelheadranch.com |
| Just wanted to tell you how pleased I was to find "labels" for shearing in the report menu. How exciting is that! Made getting ready for shearing this weekend a breeze. No more writers cramp. Wondered if you would consider finding room on the "label" for microchip numbers? I know, I know - we're never happy and always bugging you about something.....But I'm really enjoying the version 5. Feel like I traded in my chevy for a cadilac :o) I've managed to get all my pictures updated and loaded in there. My Gosh! We can even have more than one picture on the web! You're great! -Rena Stettner Reflections Alpaca Ranch rena@reflectionsalpacaranch.com |
| After yesterday's catastrophe (almost) I only have praises to say
about you and your degree of support. -Leah and Howard Jungkind Hawks Willow Ranch Alpacas hwralpacas@gmail.com |
| This upgrade is phenominal!!!!! I can't tell you how much I like this and the functionality and the information that is right at hand. I am getting rid of about 5 spreadsheets that I will no longer need due to now having the information just a click away in the AEHEv5! Love it... -David Long The 1 Alpaca Farm, LLC davidlong89@msn.com |
| Thank you Ellen for all your help & support; your software programming is elite and your personal committment is shining -Lauri Noll Harmony Farmette Alpacas pakcanislupus@aol.com |
| I was able to do the ARI extracts today with no issues! I am so impressed with that function. I spent over 10 hours manually entering in all my animals information when we first got the program... the ancestry, ARI info, etc. and to know that I could have done all that in less than 30 minutes was pretty awesome. I can't say this enough, but you have a wonderful program! -Cole Younger Younger's Alpaca Farm youngersalpacafarm@gmail.com |
| I really do like using AlpacaEASE for all our business records. You have a great product!!!! -Fred & Maggie Palmblad Bedrock Alpacas info@bedrockalpacas.com |
| Ellen, seems to work great! Thanks so much. Glad you found and fixed the birth record ID problem also. You're wonderful. I will recommend all new alpaca owners should buy your program. You just don't get this kind of service and support anywhere else. -Bill Buchner Alpacas of Greater Tennessee wbuchner@bellsouth.net |
| Thank you so very much for your assistance on Mother's Day 2010 to get my AlpacaEASE up and running after a hard-drive crash. The demonstration of new features in Version 5 was priceless and I am very impressed with the utilities that are now included, such as payment-tracking, and the down-load capability from sites like ARI and Alpacanation. Those features alone will save a great deal of input time and make it simple to do, as opposed to switching back and forth between programs, printing out information and then typing it into a data screen. Your support services are wonderful and your programming skills amazing. I highly recommend this product to anyone in the alpaca business.
-Lucy Farrar Front Range Alpacas LLC farrar1036@msn.com |
| Love love love this software! Played with it for about 2 hours tonight. Started loading lots of medical records, weights, etc. Thanks so much for getting this up and running for me. I've still got a lot to input, but at least now I know it's all working just fine.
-Linda Lintz Rolling Springs Alpacas rollingspringsalpacas@rochester.rr.com |
| We are very pleased with the version 5 Alpacaease updates. Thank you. We would recomend this record keeping system to all alpaca breeders.
-Gary Preston Suri Country Alpacas garylyn@frontiernet.net |

I have just upgraded to Version 5 and am absolutely delighted with it. I never really felt that I needed anything more than my previous version, but Version 5 has incorporated things I never would have thought of. Data is now even easier to record and track. And the new look is wonderful. In my opinion, AlpacaEase is the biggest bargain in the alpaca industry, not just the best buy in software, but the biggest bang for our buck of any industry service. I'm sure that Ellen could charge a lot more and get it, but what she really seems to be doing is enjoying the satisfaction of seeing a need and meeting it for an awful lot of alpaca breeders. Thanks, Ellen! -Larry & Helen Hornbake Alpacas of Gettysburg suris@alpacasofgettysburg.com |
| Just wanted to tell you how much this program helps our business. Please feel free to list us as one of your customers!
-Corry Pratt Northern Solstice Alpaca Farm northernsolsticealpacas@gmail.com |

I just wanted to let you know I got my software working over the network between my PC and Mac and I absolutely love it.
-Deb Dorband Mountain Sky Ranch/Alpacas deb@mountainskyalpacas.com |
| We have tried basically all animal databases out there, & I have yet to find one that is better than AlpacaEase, or one where the service is so good, quick, & reliable. Our clients are just amazed at how fast we have records at our fingertips, & how professional everything looks. AlpacaEase is also very user friendly. You don't have to be a computer genius to use it. It is also cross-platform friendly, which makes it easy for us Mac/PC people. I thought v4 was good, but when v5 came out, there was no comparison. Besides the asthetics being drastically improved, there are many major improvements, including breeding/ancestorial multi-level lookups, journaling, AN & ARI data importation, & much, much more. Another thing, is that Alpaca/HerdEASE, is not restricted to just alpacas...you can use it for any other kind of animal with ease. Kudos to Ellen! I would recommend this to anyone.
-Sarah Pinkerton Rockford Bay Alpacas rockfordbayranch@gmail.com |
| We would be happy to give testimonials to anyone interested in purchasing your program. Thanks for all you do. We love the new updates. -Robert & DeAnn Baldwin Fairview Farms Alpacas koality@hotmail.com |

I chose your program for several reasons: I loved your program right from the start. Easy navigating, the layout and figuring out was easy. Your quick response and helpful answers were what sold me on your program. Yours was so easy to use that within my trial time of using it I had my entire herd in there already. It was just that simple. I have continued to promote your program and only your program to several farms that were in need of one plus 3 new farms we are doing business with. I will continue to do so because your program has done so much for me already and many others. If others contact you and need a reference please don't hesitate to put me at the top of the list. Thank you for giving the alpaca community such a terrific program to manage our herd.

Love the Program!
-Lisa Coughlin Rogue Valley Alpacas roguevalleyalpacas@yahoo.com |

Even for my little herd, AlpacaEase has taken the work out of keeping records. No need to reinvent the wheel when this program does it all for you. Thank you!
-Deborah Low Near Sawrey Farm Alpacas dlow@nearsawreyfarmalpacas.com |

Wow, thanks for the speedy response. That works great. Saves me a bunch of time from having to enter each recurring charge individually. Your support is super great!!!
-Greg Andrews Little Hummers Alpaca Farm greg@littlehummersalpacas.com |

I only got version 5 loaded the other day, but WOW!! What a change from version 4! The graphics are great and it really seems like you can find your way around easier!! I look forward to playing with it in the near future!

I believe the AlpacaEASE management program and support service is the best in the industry. I make this statement after struggling with a variety of software programs that had strains of sound business applications, but not a management package as comprehensive as the AlpacaEASE program. As an active business, AlpacaEASE gives us the tools and a wealth of herd management options to meet our on-going changes. The two tools that greatly enhance our ranch is the financial management functions and the herd data base tracking system. In addition, the support for AlpacaEASE is highly professional as they have taken time to understand our unique issues, and research any problems with timely communication and feedback. I would recommend AlpacaEASE management systems to any Alpaca ranch.
-Douglas Greer Stone Circle Alpaca douglasdgreer@hotmail.com |
| I have been very pleased with AlpacaEASE. Although I do not use everything that is available, it is easy to use, and the customer service I receive is wonderful. I would recommend this program to anyone, even if they are not very good with computers.
-Donna Lamarche Royal Oaks Alpacas donna@royaloaksalpacas.com |
| I first started with AlpacaEase version 1 beta. With each tweak and upgrade it has continually improved. Ellen outdid herself with Version 5. The ability to pull ancestry info from ARI saves a lot of work, and ensures that the data is accurate. AlpacaEase 4 set the bar for herd management software. AlpacaEase 5 moved the bar up to the moon.
-Rick Horn All American Alpacas alpacas@aaalpacas.com |
| The v5 is by far the best update yet. My favorite part is being able to get the ancestry from ARI to automatically download.
-Dennis Miller Alpaca Palms bd.miller@alpacapalms.com |
| I have used AlpacaEase since we bought our first alpacas, in fact, we started with version 1 or 2. I have continued to use this software through the years, it makes tracking the animals and all of their info super easy! This software keeps the financial information in one place as well, so I have not had to purchase additional software to manage that part of the business. I highly recommend this! -Pat Heavener Tranquility Alpacas tranquilityalpacas@yahoo.com |
| You can use us as a reference any time. I have been more than pleased with not only the AlpacaEase program but also with the service. You have been great to work with now for more than 4 years, and I don't really have any complaints at all. You provide the alpaca industry with a great product and back it up with excellent customer service. -Ben Augustyn Augustyn Acres Alpacas info@augustynacresalpacas.com |

I just love AlpacaEASE!
-Bonnie L. Klingman Heaven's Gate Alpacas blazinbonnie@epix.net |

There are many great new features in AlpacaEase Version 5. I especially like the import of data directly from ARI which is a time saver for us as we have many different boarders. I also like the group scheduling of procedures we perform on a regular basis, easy to setup and implement. The overall look and functionality is much improved from the earlier versions, easier to get around. -Mike Arndt The Alpaca Hacienda mike@TheAlpacaHacienda.com |
|
I do believe we started using your program as soon as we heard of it. Fantastic easy to use program. -Jennifer Apostoli Pacific Sun Alpacas (Canada) japostoli@shaw.ca |
|
We have used AlpacaEASE since I purchased the BETA version from you in November 2003 at the Alpacafest West at the Firestone vineyard. I would be lost without it so I do my backups to a thumb drive, my backup hard drive and also install it on my lap top. It does everything to run the bookkeeping I need for the ranch. -John & Jann Foulke Critterville Alpacas jfrepairs@aol.com |
|
Thanks for an excellent product and awesome support. -Tom Goehring Ranch of the Oaks tom@ranchoftheoaks.com |
|
I am new to AlpacaEase but so far I love it. Getting all the old information in is time consuming but now that I have most of it in I can really see the benifit of using this program. -Diane Troutman A Turning Point Alpacas diane1t@verizon.net |
|
We are very happy with the new version 5! -Bernadette & Ron Oberley New Venture Alpaca roberley@nnmt.net |
|
AlpacaEase is the best management program we have encountered and caters for all our herd management needs. County Alpacas would recommend the program to all alpaca owners whether you have just a few or hundreds. The service from Ellen Gurewitz is also second to none. You only have to ask a question and you can be assured she will respond immediately with a solution or answer.
-Shaun and Julie Daniel County Alpacas (UK) shaun@countyalpacas.co.uk |

Love the new AlpacaEASE v5! It makes keeping our herd records simple, and it takes much less time then even the old version! Much more user friendly--worth the upgrade/purchase!
-Angie & Mike Fulfer Moose Ridge Alpacas mooseridgealpaca@aol.com |

It works great!!! And with the added fields for the custom reports I was able to export everything I needed for our feed charts!!! Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!!!

I wanted you to know how impressed I am with your new version 5. So many cool, useful additions in your new version. Thanks for making such a quality product! -Kathy Schwartz Blue Earth River Farm Alpacas simplyalpaca@aol.com |

AlpacaEase is user-friendly and intuitive. The ability to import and export data to other AlpacaEase users is a great convenience, ensuring that all the information transfers from one farm to another when an animal is purchased or sold. If animals are going to a farm without AlpacaEase, the ability to provide printed information on each alpaca offers an organized and professional impression. The financial module is an enormous help in preparing tax returns! The reminder option is very helpful, in particular for herd health procedures that occur annually and at different times for different herd members. In the version 5 upgrade, I especially appreciate the option that allows duplication of a previous herd health entry, providing greater ease of data entry. Purchasing AlpacaEase was one of the best business decisions I have made!

We LOVE AlpacaEASE! We use it all the time, and am so grateful for it. Keep up the good work.Ê -Gwen Coltrin Diamond Triple C Ranch gcoltrin@aol.com |

I am one of AlpacaEase/HeardEast inaugural users and am ecstatic over the current update provided with the v5 version including user friendly tabs. The report center now provides a cria weight history report by date range which we find very important to review weekly. Customer support cannot be better and Ellen is always open to positive suggestions for future updates. We thank her for her dedication to the Alpaca industry and a "state of the art" herd management program! -Lona Nelsen Frank ALPACAS of Tualatin Valley, llc lfrank@alpacaTV.com |

Love the program, and will happily recommend it to other breeders in Australia -Jenni Johnston Incan Treasure Alpacas (Australia) incantreasure@iinet.net.au |

Ellen...your software has been a positive addition to our herd management. In addition, you are always there to help.
-Mickey Wright Aspen Ridge Alpacas Aspen.Ridge.Alpacas@hughes.net |

I like the format in v5 better, it is much easier to navigate. The herd page being the default page with all the different tabs.
Then being able to go to different categories with their different tabs. The more I work with it the more little goodies I find.
-Wayne England Windy Hill Alpacas wengland@frontiernet.net |
|
I love the new upgrade (v5) as it is much more intuitive & user friendly. The only improvement I could see would be a way for the calendar to send you an email when procedures, etc. are due. Other than that, love the program!
-Susan Heimerdinger Suz Silky Suri Alpaca Farm alpacas@suzsilkysuri.com |

Finally had time to do the upgrade and on first glance, it is wonderful. So much easier to follow the information. Thank you.

Just a note to compliment you on Version 5 of AlpacaEase. The upgrade was easy and this total rewrite is outstanding. I no longer work in 'boxes' but am able to glide through the software with complete ease. Thanks for your continued product improvements and excellent support.

I finally upgraded to v5 - What a difference! Thanks for the great user friendly software and easy to follow instructions -Nicole Glatfelter Great Escape Alpaca Ranch LLC greatescapealpacas@yahoo.com |

Just wanted to thank you for the easy way to import records--even pictures. Snowed in here and playing with Alpacaease. Your product is the best. Although we are a mid size ranch with 23 animals--I have found AlpacaEase to be absolutely a necessity for organizing the many pieces of information necessary to keep our records updated and correct. It is so easy to maneuver. I recommend this product to ANYONE who is in the alpaca business. This product should be one of the first things considered after fencing to keep your alpaca business organized!

| As a long time user of AlpacaEASE, I definitely noticed the changes in the software. I love the new v5 upgrade. It has so many changes making it more user friendly. I particularly like the calendar, the way of updating medical/weight info, and the breeding section. Thanks for continuing to better the software.
-John & Lita Murphy Prairieland Peruvian Alpacas info@prairielandalpacas.com |
| You can include our farm on your page. We are very happy with herdease, it makes our big farm alot easier to do paperwork on!
-Martina Horwath Thunder Bay Alpacas thunderbayalpacas@comcast.net |
| I started in alpacas when paper and a 3-ring binder were the norm for tracking herd health. It wasn't until I received a detailed printout years ago from a breeding farm in Pennsylvania using AlpacaEase that I immediately got motivated to give my business a more polished image by converting to AlpacaEase. With each upgrade I'm amazed. I'm also amazed by Ellen's patience with me in assisting with the upgrades. Great job.
-Mary Hagen Alpaca Heights alpacaheights@hotmail.com |

First of all, what a great update! Can't believe all the wonderful new features! The new look is great, the whole program is much easier to navigate and many hiccups from the previous version are now gone. BTW, when we spoke and I was a little disappointed that wheel scrolling still didn't work. Come to find out it appears that scrolling does in fact work in most if not all windows. Just another great surprise! Thanks for your help and again for such a nice upgrade!
-Michael Phillips American Star Alpaca Company info@GetAlpacas.com |

We love your new look and upgrades. You have made a good program GREAT!!

I love AlpacaEase! It is so nice to use and looks really great! Keep up the great work! Your software program is very easy to use and figure out! I couldn't keep track of my animals without it! I love the ancestry check when checking out who I can breed together! It has everything in one place! Kudos to AlpacaEase.
-Jody Ehler J & J Alpacas jody@jandjalpacas.com |

Ellen, I just wanted to say what a pleasure it is to use a piece of software that actually does the job as advertised. The more I use it, the more features I find that I really like.
