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.

Musonda is a good-natured, quiet alpaca who is ideal as part of your starter herd. She is halter-trained and well used to being handled.She is an excellent mother, and we plan on adding her last season cria who has a soft handling dense fleece to our breeding herd.

Musonda’s grandsire is Banksia Park Samurai, a son of the oustanding sire, Jolimont Warrior. She has been mated to Black Jack BT Lord Shachor ET, who brings impressive ancestry to this cria, inlcuding Coonawarra Julius and NWA Ltd Ruffo (USA) among other notable names.

Mated to Black Jack Bt Lord Shachor (BlackJack) – (S)BLACK (192644) on 18-Apr-2018 and is due on or after 19-Mar-2019.

Shadow is a young black female at the start of her breeding career – she has already raised her 1st cria and is a successful mother – and we are impressed with that cria!
Shadow is halter trained, and easy to handle, and a great acquisition, either as part of your starter herd, or to add to your existing herd.

Shadow has been mated to NZ Eikon Chico, a medium grey male, so you have a 50% chance of a grey cria!

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.

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!

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.
