We would like to announce that in February, Matthew McAninly from Australia joined us at Millbrook Alpacas as Stud Manager.

Matt is a qualified Wool Classer and before joining us was the fibre classer for Australian Alpaca Fleece Ltd. in Melbourne. He comes to us with expert knowledge of alpaca fibre developed from his time with AAFL.

Recently Matt has consulted for the Alpaca Fibre Co-operative of North America (AFCNA) developing classing guidelines and training their staff on sorting and grading alpaca fibre. He has also been involved in conducting fleece workshops for alpaca growers in Australia.

With Matt?s knowledge of alpaca fibre we believe he can assist in the building of Millbrook Alpacas and establish us as a producer of quality stock.

Matt will be available to clients for advice on breeding, selecting animals or any fibre related question and can also teach anyone interested in learning to sort and grade alpaca fibre.
