April is a dainty, perfectly conformed little female with great potential as a breeding alpaca. She is expecting a cria in spring 2019. Of course, 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.

April’s fleece is very dense and at around 30 micron is of commercial quality. By using April to start your breeding herd, you can bring about fleece improvement to the next generation simply by breeding April with a fine fleeced male in future.

April has been mated to our very handsome young grey male stud NZ Eikon Chico. Both April and Chico have excellent conformation and are likely to produce a very attractive cria for you. To put you in the draw for just about everything, she could produce a black, a silver grey, a rose grey, a brown or a fawn cria from this mating.

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.

Tessa is currently being mated to our imported black male, Black Jack BT Lord Shachor ET, so you have a 50% chance of a grey cria (either rose or silver). Cria will be due in Autumn 2020.

Gallery shows Tessa’s cria to date: all under 20 micron first shear.

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 has been mated to Highway Star Gold Flash (Light Fawn). Gold Flash is also DNA Parent Verified, his sire being the world famous Jolimont Attitude, and grandsire, the well-known Australian stud, Jolimont Sculptor. This cria will have an enviable depth of pedigree featuring some of the top alpacas in the world!

Empire Rose has had 2 previous 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 current pregnancy will yield another elite alpaca.

These two young black females are the best of friends – only 1 month separates them in age, and they are due to be mated in Spring 2019, after which they won’t be this price again.  –  so get in quick to start your breeding plan.

Both these young girls feature a number of Canchones alpacas in their pedigrees – Canchones having a unequaled reputation in Australia for breeding quality black alpacas – –  so get in quick to start your breeding plan.

At this age, these young girls will need an older companion – either a breeding female or a wether.

Strike!! is a medium fawn male with a quiet, gentle nature.

Both Strike!!s parents are DNA Parent Verified, so Strike!! is eligible for this as well.
