Judge Trainer Halter, Performance, and Fleece

Certifications

Huacaya Halter, Suri Halter, Fleece, Performance

After graduating from West Virginia University with a degree in animal science, Stephanie Glyptis jumped into alpacas in 2000 as the herd manager for Heart’s Desire Farm, the largest huacaya herd in West Virginia. This herd of nearly 300 kept her very busy halter training, delivering crias, and managing the daily needs of the alpacas. A very active participant in the show ring, she was finally able to merge her background in dairy cattle judging with alpacas in 2006 when she became an AOA Certified Judge. Since then, she has judged all over the United States, Canada and Europe. Being certified in all aspects of judging fleece, halter, and performance, Stephanie offers diversity to her show assignments.

Stephanie, her husband Phillip, and their children Teddy and Abigail live in Weirton, West Virginia just outside Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Stephanie runs Glyptis Manor Alpacas and in addition to judging provides educational seminars and herd evaluations for alpacas.
