About Us
Our Story
Camelot Camel Dairy, LLC is owned and operated by Kyle and Holly Hendrix, along with our 4 children (Evan, Asher, Reed and Sarah). Our camel dairy is located on 35 acres of pasture in Wray, Colorado, a few miles from the Nebraska line. From Kyle’s earliest days he’s had a passion for dairy production. He grew up working with beef cattle, and his first chore was helping babies get milk from “nurse” cows. Around age seven, he got “Rosie,” his first registered Holstein heifer, as a Christmas present. From then on he was hooked!
He showed her at the fair, and went on to compete with several breeds in state fairs and at national breed associations. Kyle also had other farm animals growing up such as registered dairy goats, hogs, sheep, and horses. As a teen, he was very involved in 4-H and Future Farmers of America (FFA), becoming FFA Chapter President and winning numerous FFA awards. After pursuing an agriculture business degree, Kyle worked with large dairies, overseeing herds of 700 cows to 3,000 cows.
An internship gave him a great experience in milk processing, cheese making, ice cream and more. Also learning A.I. (artificial insemination) and doing our own embryo transfers by taking an intensive course at the National Embryo Transfer School, in 2007, with the goal of improving cattle breeds.
Holly grew up as town kid, and went to a small trade school learning cosmetology. She currently helps at the dairy when needed. Our four children also help out at the dairy and love caring and growing up with our animals.
