Alpaca Stud Services & Herd Sires
Access rare black and grey genetics to strengthen your breeding programme.
We offer stud services from a carefully selected group of black, fawn and rose grey herd sires, featuring rare bloodlines and unique genetic combinations not widely available elsewhere in the UK.
Drawing on leading breeding programmes in the USA and Australia, our herd sires bring together the qualities expected from a serious breeding programme; correct conformation, great temperaments and fleece traits that advance fibre productivity and long-term quality.
The fibre traits we focus on in our breeding programme are low SD, long staple length, longevity of fineness, density and minimal guard hair. As a result, each of our males offers bright, lustrous, soft handling, well nourished fleeces, the goal of serious breeding programmes. Each of our males offers particular strengths within these traits, allowing breeders to match the right sire to the right female for the best results.
Located in Gloucestershire, 30 minutes north of Bristol, and 15 minutes east of the Severn bridges to Wales, we are conveniently located 15 minutes from both M4 and M5 motorways.
