Having seen these wonderful animals at various field day events and talking to breeders in our local area, the next step was to own some alpacas.  We soon took the plunge and purchased two wethers in 2007.  These two seemed lonely grazing in the paddock so the numbers quickly increased to five.  We then purchased our first females and proceeded to breed.  Having achieved some good results from our breeding program the herd expanded over the next few years.  Being independant alpaca breeders, the breeding program has significantly improved the quality of the fibre over the last few years.  The main focus is to produce quality products from quality fine coloured alpacas.

The herd consists predominately of Huacaya animals with a smattering of Suri among them.  

This fibre is being used to produce wool and garments.  Having a good selection of colours it has been fun to see how each colour turns out after it has been home spun and knitted up.

Along with alpaca sales, woolen products are also available for sale.  Check out our sales pages

There are many questions to ask before owning alpacas.  The first question you need to think of when considering owning alpacas.
