| We commenced with 5 Chilean females in 1998 and agisted our herd with one of the
founding breeders is Australia. In late 2000 we moved onto our own property and operate
our herd on 40 acres of undulating land near Bacchus Marsh. Chris lectures on alpacas
at Melbourne University and hosts student visits for practical experience as part of the
Animal Scieneces Course.
Our vision is to breed fine fleeced animals, today we have a herd average of 22 micron.
We have achieved success with both animals and fleece in the show ring.
- Champion Fleece at the Colac Show 1999
- Reserve Fleece Warrnambool 1999.
- Intermediate Male Reserve Champion Warrnambool 2000

- Senior Male Reserve Champion Colac 2004

Our breeding philosophy is to use the best available stud males to achieve the
objectives of our breeding program and we conduct extensive research and evaluation to
determine which males will give us the required results.
Rhonda and I are happy to discuss any aspect of alpacas and the industry with new
entrants or those considering buying alpacas. We love to share our knowledge and passion
for this exciting industry.
