Lilac is a descendant of our very first stud male, Somerset Peruvian Dandy, himself a son of Somerset Peruvian Sensation a male of renown in the early days of Australasian alpaca breeding.  She  is also the granddaughter of ILR Fibre’s Brutus who was imported from USA many years ago and made a name for himself as a top sire in New Zealand.  With these genetics Lilac has the goods and if you put her to a good male she will no doubt prove herself genetically.  With one cria safely arriving and raised by Lilac she is now ready for a new home.  Pair her with our brown girl April and you can have a pair of registered breeding females for the reduced price of $1100+GST.  How’s that for a good start in your alpaca breeding career?  Take a complete package with stud males Hunter or Geronimo and for $1600+GST your new team will be ready to go.

Tessa has confirmed ability as a breeding female. Sired by our black, Huari Lincoln, Tessa has proven that although she appears to be (and is registered as) a dark brown, she is in fact, a rose grey. She has the potential to breed grey (both silver and rose), black, brown and even fawn cria.
Tessa has been DNA parentage verified, so you know the wealth of quality alpacas in her pedigree adds to her value! Just look at her illustrious heritage: her pedigree includes well-respected alpacas such as ILR Alpine Fibers Brutus (Imp USA), who was sired by all-time great American stud Peruvian Hemingway, Pinjarra Microsoft (sired by Purrumbete Highlander, and a grandson of Purrumbete El Dorado, both outstanding Australian sires),  and ILR Pperuvian Pluro, a well known USA import to Australia.

Gallery shows Tessa’s cria to date: all under 20 micron first shear and two silver greys included!

April is a dainty, perfectly conformed little female. As per our commitment at The Alpaca Place, April’s parentage has been verified by DNA and she is halter trained to boot. A great little starter alpaca, April’s father , Huari Lincoln, was a black and she therefore carries that colour genetically although she herself is a very pretty medium brown, this means if she is mated to a black or grey male in future she could produce a black cria but other colours are a possibility.  She has successfully birthed and raised one cria previously so is good to go on the breeding front.

 Annastasia’s name means “resurrection” and so it becomes apparent why we named her young cria Phoenix (now weaned). Annastasia is a most unusual colour. She is registered as a tuxedo rose grey/roan however she very definitely looks like a classic rose grey (not a roan) UNTIL you open up her fleece and there it is: silver grey. Every time she is shorn the true grey colour is very obvious. 

Although Annastasia’s fleece is not fine we have a regular buyer for her fleece who told Cheryl she wants it again this year because “it is a most delightful carded alpaca fleece, grey with interesting brown, gold tones through it. Oh my goodness, it has to be the best alpaca fleece I have ever worked with, spins up a dream and is so buttery soft.” She was disappointed to find that Cheryl had decided to keep the fleece for processing herself this year since it makes up into such an unusual coloured wool. She’s already booked in this year’s fleece as soon as Annastasia’s fleece is shorn. If you’re into spinning this girl obviously has a fleece with appeal.

With a pedigree stacked with high quality ancestors, Paloma is a quality breeding female with a long breeding life ahead of her. Her pedigree includes such alpacas of renown as Jolimont Conquistador, Jolimont Warrior, ILR Ppperuvian Auzengate,  and Somerset Peruvian Challenge. All of these high quality alpacas have inserted value to Paloma’s conformation and fibre characteristics. And when paired with our dark fawn male Arcady Zegna she produced a stunning male cria in February 2019 (Armani).  With a super fine first shear fleece of only 14.8 micron. a standard deviation of just 3.1 and a 100% comfort factor Versace is a top male with stud potential. 

At her last shearing (4 years old)  Paloma had 23 micron fleece with a 90.4% comfort factor.

 Zegna has  a lustrous, dense, crimpy fleece, and at 12 years old he was still only 25 micron with an SD of only 3.9 – almost unheard of for an alpaca of his age. The son of two champions, Zegna himself was successful in the Australian show ring before being exported to New Zealand after just one year of stud duty in Australia. 

Paloma was mated again to  Arcady Zegna   because of the great first-time result of this first-time pairing.  The resulting cria, medium fawn Armani will no doubt have similar fleece qualities to his older brother Versace.

Pedigree Matters: Georgia is DNA Parent Verified, and includes Purrumbete Highlander, Coricancha Brujo, Somerset Peruvian Sensation, and Cedar House Braveheart in her pedigree. In addition, her grandsire, Forest Glen Lion Heart adds ancestry that includes Purrumbete El Dorado, Purrumbete Snowman and Purrumbete Sweet Freedom. (Sweet Freedom is one of the handful of females who has gained fame as an iconic breeder)
Georgia has proven ability as a breeder of quality alpaca, her quality daughter was snapped up as soon as she went on the market.  If you are looking for better than average alpacas, you can’t go past Georgia.

NightShade was Champion Black at her first show, aged barely 6 months – what an achievement! Never out of the winners circle, Nightshade’s cria have been everything we might have wished for! NightShade proves the power of pedigree, including such animals in her pedigree as the famous Australian Coonawarra Dorchester ( a son of the equally famous Coonawarra Julius), and Somerset Black Reign and Kaihere Peruvian Pele, both top blacks imported from Peru.
If you’d like to breed quality blacks, make NightShade your priority.

Empire Rose is a well built female coated in gold! She has been Parentage verified using DNA, so you know her outstanding pedigree is genuine! Classic studs included in her pedigree include Purrumbeti Inti, Purrumbete El Dorado and Jolimont Sculptor – and Empire Rose is definitely the quality product of her pedigree. Whether you have an established quality herd, or are just starting out, Empire Rose should definitely be added to your herd!

Empire Rose annually shears more than 3.5kg fleece with a lovely dense blanket. Her 1st shear stats were: Mean 20µ, sv 4.17, comfort factor 98.3%. As is normal, her fleece has strengthened as she has aged, her last stats at 4 years old were mean 27µ, sv 4.7, comfort factor 80.2%, so her fleece has stayed consistent.

Empire Rose  had 2  cria sired by Gold Flash – Empire Dawn and Strike, who had first fleece stats of 16.6 and 17 micron respectively, putting them well into the Elite class,  and we are confident her most recent cria, Prestige, cria will be another elite alpaca. Ask to see Prestige when you call – you’ll be impressed!!

Prestige is a stunning young male with attractive conformation and a fast-growing, crimpy very light fawn fleece (you could be fooled into thinking its white!).  He has not yet been shorn but this little guy appears to have everything going for him – youth, health, personality, conformation and fleece.  He is a credit to his mother Empire Rose (who is a medium fawn and also for sale).  Prestige is definitely stud potential and we would love to keep him but, alas, we are moving out of the alpaca industry and he needs a new home where his quality is recognised.  Come and meet him!  From 7 months old he was working as a “pet boy” hosting our farm tour visitors so he is well handled, halter-trained and well adjusted.  

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!

DNA Sire Verified, 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. Pucara Juliana deserves a special mention as she is the dam of numerous Supreme Champion winners, including at least 3 AANZ National Show Supremes!

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.

Sired by Australian Import, Forestglen Lion Heart,  Geronimo  (DNA Sire Verified) 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!
