Snowshill Alpacas

Having first seen Alpacas at the Royal Show in 2001, we thought that some of these fascinating creatures would be ideal to keep the grass in check and, at the same time, look rather attractive in the paddocks.

In 2002, we decided to take the plunge and buy some. So, not wanting to over do things, we bought three boys through Michael Coghlan of Blenheim Alpacas, a Black, a White and a Brown.

We received a lot of assistance from Peter and Maxine Watts of Fine Alpacas with shearing and general husbandry. It was, in part, due to their infectious enthusiasm that we decided that it would be nice to have a few girls so that we could have cria gambolling in the paddocks. Three girls were duly purchased at auction and we became hooked!

We now have over one hundred and eighty Huacaya alpacas and around thirty Suri alpacas. We currently have twenty four working studs (many have won Championships including Supreme Championships). For more information, please click on "stud services" or, give us a call regarding those not on the stud page.
