Since there are just two of us, one shed, and one hundred acres, each year we must sell alpacas. We sell the same range of quality that we keep. Although we concentrate on breeding grey and black, we also have rose greys and several fawns and browns. Therefore we may have alpacas in the brown range for sale. Please email for fleece stats and other information. We do have an ABN, we do not collect GST, prices include transfers, we are in Qalpaca 05/0081. Usually animals are halter-trained.

Daughter: IAR 157384 Born: March 26, 2009
Solid White FEMALE
Sire of Daughter: Forestglen Platinum LG
Price: Cranberry $700, Cloudberry $800, pair $1200
Cranberry is a cheerful alpaca who is easy to handle. She has a compact, neat (and well-padded!) frame, is well-covered, and has a dense, crimpy fleece, but over 30 micron. She has had three good-natured male crias, two solid black (one with very dense fleece) and one pretty fawn roan (with good, fine fleece). Her dam is by Jolimont Conquistador. She was remated on November 7, 2009 to Platinum. Cloudberry has a good frame, a good fleece test and she has dark eyes. Cloudberry was mated to Meriadoc on April 19, 2010. These animals fall outside the colours we concentrate on, and we would like them to go together, so they are priced accordingly. (Photos 2008, 2010)

Myrtle has a compact frame and a soft fleece. Her dam has a fine fleece still at an advanced age. Females in this line can produce grey and black as well as brown. Myrtle has a small white spot on one heel (not there when she was registered). She gave birth without difficulty and has nursed her cria without losing condition. She was remated to Pinkerton on April 15, 2010. Myrtle is not hard to handle. Millicent's colour is between light grey and rose grey. She is not available alone at this time. (Photo 2009)

Roan or rose grey FEMALE
Sire: Forestglen Platinum LG
Dam: Janannie Park Juanita SBLK
Price: $1700
Julia is a well-grown female with a very good frame. Her colour was a surprise since her dam is solid black. Although pale, she is definitely roan (brown and white fibres), with the dark cap and white face of a grey. She should be carrying recessive black and should be able to produce dark colours and grey. Her fleece is fine and dense with adequate style. Both her parents have retained fine fleeces. We have her maternal half-brother, Meriadoc, at stud. She was mated to Tarraganda Lodge Ekeko, our new acquisition, on May 18, 2010. (Photo 2009)

Solid Medium Brown FEMALE
Sire of cria: Merungle Hot Chili RG
Price: Pair $3400
Heavenly Blue is of average size and heavily built. Her dam was of show quality and she herself has unusually stable fleece stats (variation within one micron over three shearings). Micron is medium and SD is good. She has one black spot near her tail. She is a quiet, competent female who has had two crias for us, one light grey male sold for stud and this female. We will retain her dam and sister. Heavenly Blue was remated to Platinum on October 30, 2009. Red Sky has a fine, dense, structured fleece, with the best style (including shoulder) of the Hot Chili crias of this spring, and is a calm young animal. She has black points and should be able to produce black and grey crias. Heavenly Blue is not hard to handle. (Photo 2009)
Price: from $200

Rose grey CERTIFIED MALE
Dam: Morning Star Colette SMBRN
Sire: Forestglen Platinum LG
Price: $3600
Pinkerton got his name because he is pink and is as solidly built as an armoured truck. Although he looks roan in a photo, this is due to our soils--he has the white neck front of a rose grey, as you can see in his photo as cria. He has a beautiful fleece that is fine, very soft, fairly even over his body, long (including on neck), dense, and with deep crimp of about 8 crimps per inch and thin staples. His first fleece tested 18.4µ, 4.3µSD, 23.4%CV, 98.7CF; and his second tested 18.6µ, 3.8µSD, 20.4%CV, 99.2CF. His third fleece tested 20µ, 4µSD, 20%CV and weighed over 4.2 kilos. (AWTA November 2007, 2008, 2009) He has been on good feed throughout his life. Pinkerton has the best fleece of our young males and is for sale because he is related to most of our herd. He is certified and working, with a female due in spring. (Photos 2010, 2007)

Morris is out of one of our best and favourite females. He was shown once, as an intermediate at the Southern Region Spring Show, for a second place. He is a handsome animal, heavily built and very well covered. His fleece is good enough in all respects, and he is definitely black, though with some dark brown on belly and inside thighs. Second fleece 24.6µ, 4.2µSD, 17.1%CV, 91.3%CF. Fourth fleece 26.3µ, 4.4µSD, 16.7%CV, 83.3%CF (AWTA 2007, 2009). Fourth fleece weight over 3.5kgs.

We have handknit shawls and scarves of handspun yarn for sale. Price depends on size, thickness of yarn, and complexity, but from $40-60 for scarves and $200-250 for shawls of thicker yarn and about double for thinner yarn.
