Our Herd

Our primary focus in the development of our herd has been to select animals with proven genetics, show history or bloodlines that have produced show quality animals. We have developed our herd by purchasing animals as well as breeding our own. We recently purchased the Kingwell Herd to increase the quality of our bloodlines and breeding stock.

This is exciting times for us, acquiring females with such a depth of quality Australian and British genetics. With the bonus of pregnancies to top quality stud males including; Kurrawa Legend's Crusader, Gilt Edge Samurai, Beck Brow Explorer and Timbertop Goldmine of Beck Brow; we are expecting an exciting crop in 2018. We have also purchased alpacas from Little Eskrigg Alpacas including and Legacy Alpacas as part of our herd development.

We have used the following studs over our females for the 2018 season;

• Kurrawa Legend's Crusader,
• Gilt Edge Samurai,
• Beck Brow Explorer
• Timbertop Goldmine of Beck Brow
• Beck Brow First Edition
• Waradene St Patrick
• Ep Cambridge Gunsmith
• Appledene Diamond Jubilee
• Anzac Viracocha Black Sabbath
