Brenna is an attractive medium fawn female with a good standard of fleece. Halter-trained and easy to handle, she comes from a family that has, over several generations, produced a whopping 75% ratio of female cria! She has had her sire, NZ Eikon Woolmaster,  verified by DNA, and has a good solid pedigree that includes lot of quality alpacas: Cedar House Woolmaker2, Purrumbete Inti, Coricancha Brujo (sired by Purrumbete Highlander), Somerset Peruvian Dandy (sired by Somerset Peruvian Sensation), NZ Southern Calypso (descended from both Purrumbete Inti and Purrumbete Ledgers Dream).

This is a solid foundation on which to build your future! 

Brennas fleece stats include: Brennas first fleece was 19 micron and 97% comfort factor, and her 2nd was 23 micron with 90% comfort factor. Now 5 years old her last fleece was 28.9 micron, so it has only slowly increased in pace with her age.

Brenna has been mated to Egmont Hunter, who is sired by Silverstream Faberge, the 2008 National Show Supreme Champion. Hunters heritage includes ILR Alpine Fibres Brutus, Pucara Julianna,  Peruvian Hemingway, and NWA Ltd Ruffo. Imagine a cria with this heritage in your herd!

Venus is a “frame” alpaca – she has excellent conformation and strong bone – just the girl to give you a strong basis for a quality herd. As with all our females, she has had her DNA recorded so you can breed DNA Parentage Verified cria with her, and of course, she is halter-trained and easy to handle. Sired by Pejo Rebel, she has been sired verified by DNA – check her pedigree here.

Venus has been mated by Black Jack BT Lord Shachor (aka BJ). BJ is an Australian import with a wealth of quality black alpacas in his background. BJ is a “fleece” alpaca, and thus an excellent choice for Venus. BJ has been DNA Parent Verified, and you can see his pedigree here.

Savannah is a young white female in the early stages of pregnancy (due March 2018). She is a lovely quiet alpaca with a small frame and with some impressive alpacas in her pedigree: Alpine Fiber’s Brutus (imported from USA and now an old boy but once regarded as one of New Zealand’s top stud males), Silverstream Faberge (a former NZ National champion who has been exported to Belgium), and Coricancha Brujo (a son of renowned Australian sire Purrumbete Highlander) and formerly the flagship of the Alpaca Association NZ as an ideal alpaca.

Last shearing on 14-Nov-2016 produced 1.19 kgs (2nd fleece).
Sample statistics: Mean=20.90, CV=22.9%, SD=4.80, SF=20.69, CF=96.1%.
Savannah’s second shear shows she is holding her fineness with a micron of 20.90 and a comfort factor of 96%

Savannah has been mated to our young Australian black boy (BJ) so could produce either a white or a coloured cria. Black Jack’s potential is underscored by having a peek at the alpacas in his pedigree: his sire Bonnie Park Black Thunder is descended from NWA Ltd Ruffo, a well known Peruvian-bred, US stud imported into Australia some years ago. Other alpacas of note in his pedigree include Coonawarra Julius, a black male who needs no introduction to serious breeders of black alpacas and Alpaca Specialist Lady Sambucca ET

Black Jack is sired by Bonnie Park Black Thunder, an impressive blue-black male with an equally impressive Australian Show record, including consecutive placings in the 2004 and 2005 AAA National Shows.

Evelyn is a black alpaca with a dazzling white beauty spot on her chest that make her stand out in our herd. Evelyn is what we term a “frame alpaca” and has excellent conformation. Like her mother before her Evelyn has a quiet nature and she simply fits in to the herd just as she is. She is halter trained and was used for a short time as one of our “pets”, taking our guests for a walk during their farm tour. As with all female alpacas at The Alpaca Place, Evelyn’s parentage has been confirmed by DNA – her father was a stunning grey we imported from Australia and she has a definite look of him although she did not inherit his colour.

Sired by Australian Import, Forestglen Lion Heart,  Geronimo  has an attractive, naturally upright carriage with a soft handling crimpy fleece. His sire brings the iconic Purrumbete Inti and Purrumbete El Dorado into his pedigree which features other well known studs such as Cedar House Brave Heart and Somerset Peruvian Challenge. His dam, Sumerset Peruvian Angel (also imported from Australia), had a 25 micron fleece at 12 years old, and it still feels great. With heritage like this, Geronimo has potential plus!

Fleece Stats: First shearing on 10-Nov-2012 produced 1.73 kgs (1st fleece- 8 months growth).Sample statistics: FD=18.36, CV=20.6%, SD=378.00, SF=17.81, CF=99.6%. Last Shearing (3rd fleece) on 13 Nov 2014 produced 4.5kg fibre, FD= 25.82, CV= 15.3%, SD=3.8, SF=23.11, comfort factor 94%

Geronimo’s first cria have now hit the ground, and we are impressed with their quality, showing significant improvement on their dams. If you are looking for a first stud, Geronimo is a great choice to add both frame and fibre to your herd.

A solid white sired by the fabulous Silverstream Faberge, Supreme Champion at the 2010 Alpaca Association National Show. Faberge has now been exported to Europe, so males sired by him are keenly sought after!

Hunter has a pedigree recognised as superior by New Zealand alpaca breeders, including such alpacas as PERUVIAN HEMINGWAY G171 (USA), ILR ALPINE FIBER’S BRUTUS (Imp. U.S.A), ILR PERUVIAN DON JULIO G159 (Imp. U.S.A), PUCARA JULIANA (Aus), NWA LTD RUFFO G4574 (Imp. U.S.A) plus others.

Hunter is a smaller statured male, but manages to pump out the fleece anyway – he averages over 4 1/2 kilo every shear!  Add to this his crimpy fleece, and low micron for age, and you have a very desirable package. His cria have impressed us with dense, soft fleeces – Hunter has the potential to sire many valuable cria.
