Meanwhile, whilst our show career is limited to the immediate vicinity of Hartley and Sydney , we have had the pleasure of 5 Supreme Championships and many broad ribbons. This year will see our 7th Annual Open Sale Day/Auction with a date to be finalised shortly. |

In 2002 we purchased a very fine male, Golden Gates Julius who is the Superfine son of ILR Peruvian Don Julio. He has improved our fleece quality and micron and overall bone structure of our alpacas. Then in 2005 we purchased Hawthorn Cottage Iam also a well built male who has superior fleece and carries genetics such as Purrumbete Highlander, Purrumbete Inti and Cedar House Peruvian Ayaviri. He now has several quality alpacas on the ground from Julius Daughters.We also have kept a dark stud sire, a Julius son, Bonny Belle Sirius Black to use over our grey and dark coloured female. Because we are a small stud we can offer individual attention to our animals and support to purchasers. All our animals are handled regularly and are used to the human touch. We encourage farm visits and offer full after sales support to our clients. Look no further than Bonny Belle for your next alpaca!

GRENFELL NSW | | About this breeder: | A medium sized stud, we aim to provide personal service and comprehensive after-sales backup and advice.

As well, by keeping our herd numbers small to medium, we can continue to get to know each animal on an individual basis, thus enabling us to provide comprehensive information about each one to potential buyers.
Our animals are also all halter trained from weaning.
Our after-sales services include shearing, toe nails, teeth, injections, and also advice about anything a buyer might need to know.
We also offer agistment, as well as drive-by and on-farm stud services (on-farm MN3 status preferred, but can arrange separate paddock). |

Taree South,
Mid North Coast | | About this breeder: | Our journey started with the purchase of our farm in April 2004 for somewhere to retire and enjoy the comforts of space and experience the joy of animals, a lifestyle to good to pass. Richard is still working fulltime in our business in the Wollongong district so we share our time between our Helensburgh home and the farm at Taree. Our son Michael lives on the farm, and does a great job of looking after the animals and doing the many chores. We just love having the alpacas around and look forward to many years enjoyment with them.
Our farm, Incamon Alpaca Stud is located on the south side of Taree (4km) on 30 acres. We have 2 dams, 11 paddocks, and currently run 45 alpacas, 14 cattle and Savannah our horse. Our dams attract many different species of birds including many ducks and the odd Pelican. The average rain fall for the area is 1,200mm (48 inches) per annum.
Richard is no stranger to farms as he grew up on large properties but Robin and Michael were new comers’ to the experience, and just love every moment. Initially we were going to have a few cows and calves and a horse, however, after meeting some of these lovely alpaca creatures we purchased our first two in 2004 and we grew from there. We thought that 20 breeding females would be our optimum number and plan to have around 20 crias born in 2007. We have now acquired sufficient stock to achieve our goal.
In early 2006 we purchased Morning Star Blue Boy a lovely silver grey certified male who has the personality to match his beauty. We plan to specialise in breeding silver grey huacaya’s but also have other colours including solid blacks and whites. Standing at Stud we have Morning Star Blue Boy (silver grey) & Bryanna Kimba (Solid White). We also have several promising young males coming through. Our breeding plan is to build our herd by breeding in animals with good confirmation, bone structure & fleece characteristics. Our alpaca numbers will grow organically and to ensure that we have enough quality grass to manage without heavy hand feeding we will reduce our cattle numbers.
We have learnt so much since purchasing our first alpacas and we now look forward to showing some of our young animals in 2007. This will be a new learning curve for us but one that we will enjoy. We have found the alpaca farming community to be very supportive to newcomers and that is something we have fostered and will continue the journey to build this great industry and pass our knowledge and experiences onto others.

Richard & Robin | | Latest News: | Incamon Alpaca Stud - News 21st March 2007
We have started our year off with a mix of newborn boys and girls. Our tally so far this year is 3 female and 4 male cria. On 2nd March 'Morning Star Blue Boy' (our Silver grey male) first progeny was born to mum 'East Station Jenny'; a lovely 6.5kg grey female appropriately named 'Incamon Sophie Rose' by our adopted Grand Daughter Tiffany Drury.
Tiffany and Michael have been busy halter training our weanlings which has been a success. We recently sold 4 of our youngsters to a good home. We also purchased 2 mums and bubs from Doolittle Alpacas who are just around the corner from us.
Fleece stats just returned on two of our promising youngsters were;
'Incamon White Diamond' DOB 19 Mar 2006 = 17 micron with a standard deviation of 3.89, & comfort factor 99.2%;
'Incamon Sir Robbie' DOB 14 May 2006 = 18 micron with a standard deviation of 4.35, and comfort factor of 98.8%;
These results were extremely pleasing and we are looking forward to bigger & better things with these two young lads.
Our cattle numbers crept up a bit so we sold a few off and should be able to carry our current herd through the winter without feeding.
The rain gods had been much kinder of late with 290mm of rain falling in the past 2 months. The farm is now looking a treat and the animals are relishing in the greening pastures which were browning prior to the good rain falls.
Incamon Alpaca Stud - News 4th January 2007
Today we celebrated the birth of Incamon Tinkerbelle, a lovely little light brown female cria born to parents The Glen Pixie and Bryanna Kimba. She arrived at 11.30am weighing 6.3kg, both mum and bub are very active and well. This is a special birth being a girl and the first of our New Year baby?s so hopefully this is a sign of more girls to come in 2007.
Incamon Alpaca Stud - 2006 UPDATE
Incamon has had a great 2006 year with 12 crias being born, 11 males and 1 lone female. We had 8 boys in a row but we are about turn these statistics around in 2007 with a lot of wishful thinking and looking to the gods for support. The majority of the boys are of good quality and have excellent bloodlines which allow us some future options with respect to showing and breeding.
We purchased a further 15 alpacas throughout the year from a number of studs: Morning Star, Wollondilly, Ghost Gum & Kuanza Alpaca Studs. Our breeding herd is now at our desired level and in keeping with our strategic plan. Our plan is to sell and buy females to improve our bloodlines however we do not see this as a motivator to increase herd numbers. We want to grow organically with controlled reinvestment.
Rain fall for 2006 was 860mm, which was 340mm below the average of 1200mm. Our dam levels are the lowest they have been since owning the property. This has meant that we have had to spend much more time on pasture management and ensure the alpacas have sufficient nutrients in their diets. One of the main issues for our area and grasses is that the types of native grasses we have require consistent and high rain falls.
Our focus over the past year has been one of learning more about alpacas and the alpaca industry while further developing our farm infrastructure such as fencing and handling facilities. We attended the NSW New Alpaca Breeders' Seminar at Robertson NSW 11th - 13th August 2006 which was very informative and a must for new breeders.
At the moment we are looking forward to another 11 new crias' due before the end of April and getting on with our fencing and facilities plan. Robin is learning to spin & weave and we are looking forward to the first completed project from our fleeces.
Best regards
Richard & Robin

2092 Windellama Rd
Quialigo via Goulburn NSW | | About this breeder: | After a lifetime of cattle breeding amongst other things, we decided to look for stock that could compliment our property, “Paddington Park” in Kangaroo Valley. We ran a hideaway called “The Heavens” and some cattle. After following the alpaca scene around for approximately two years, the female member of this partnership decided it was to be Alpacas that graced the lush green pastures of their mountain retreat.
Beginning in 1993 with 2 pregnant females which cost an arm and a leg at that time, and fortunately being blessed with two female cria we were off… Steadily our herd grew, as did our Show successes. Then came our agistors, of whom we became very involved in their education and breeding programmes.
Having a medical background as well as a rural one proved to be a bonus, and Open days, Education days and time spent with other breeders proved a wonderful and social interacting time. Becoming the Breed Captain for Sydney RAS Show for 9 years was a great experience, having shown cattle with the family since I was a child proved to be be of great benefits to us in the Alpaca industry, knowing what and how to get our industry going through the RAS. I still feel that this is our greatest advertising outlet to the general public in NSW. There were a lot of skills which were to be brought to the alpaca area at the RAS.
Being a director on the first formed Alpaca Fleece Co-operative was another new experience and where I was fortunate enough to learn so much about what the mills require. We still have a long way to go in this field, and I feel a lot more knowledge is required here perhaps from woollen mill experts. Watching the fleece progress over the years from our first imported Chilean stock to the improvement from imported Peruvian genetics has been a privilege and a wonderful one to be part of. Then with the event of the Suri coming to Australia and watching breeders learn about this silken fleece has indeed been another great opportunity. I never get over enjoying city folk who have come over to the rural scene learning and enjoying this wonderful alpaca.
In early 2000 circumstances brought us to Goulburn where we felt the more natural pasture may be more in keeping with the alpaca natural grazing habits. This proved to be so, and our alpacas thrived. As well there is a great network of breeders nearby who get in and assist one another and always there for advice or to be able to help one another. We continue to assist others with medical knowledge learned from our wonderful vet and his associates. We have been blessed with Bill Beresford from Moss Vale from the beginning and he continues to teach us all along the way and is always there to advise us with anything; we are eternally grateful to him for all his down to earth knowledge and skills he has handed on to us.
We run approximately 200 alpacas, our own and agisted, on 100 acres here. We also have access to a nearby property on which most of our wethers are run, when we have some…. |

Cootamundra NSW | | About this breeder: | Roblin Babydoll Southdowns & Alpacas is owned and operated by myself, Linda and my husband Rob. My father has been farming sheep for over 60 years, this urged Rob & I to turn our hands to alpacas in 2003 and purchase our own 25 acre property.
We currently have 14 alpacas, with a mixture of breeding females, young alpacas from 2006, stud males and wethers.
Miniature sheep, Olde English Babydoll Southdowns, are also a part of the Roblin plan and we successfully use our wethers to guard my father's lambs, as well as our own.
***We have two Stud Male alpacas for sale, that are listed on this site and our own site. They need a good home where they can continue working or they will be castrated after the end of February 2008. We have no more room for them as entire males.

Braidwood | | About this breeder: | We are a small stud located just on the west side of the Dividing Range north northeast of Braidwood on 100 acres. We specialize in silver grey and black huacaya but also have several rose greys, fawns and browns carrying recessive black. We are at present using for stud Elysion Mercury and Forestglen Platinum, both light grey, and have several young males growing up.
We are keen on the animals and on their fleece. All our fleece is used--we spin it, sell it, donate it, and pad the rows between the vegetables with what is otherwise useless.
Although we want to improve the alpacas in every way we can, we would most like to produce nice-looking, vigorous animals of silver grey and blue black colour with very even, soft fleeces, without hair, that remain usable as long as possible.
We can provide females of different ages and levels of quality and also males as pets, livestock guards or stud. (Please see our website for animals for sale now.) We go to about three shows a year. |

Spring has sprung, but with very variable rainfall leading up to it and the driest August in recorded history in Australia in places. Bathurst didn't fare well at all and Crookwell managed to catch a bit more rain so looks better in places. We oscillate between the two, as the boys (3) are schooled in Bathurst and we have sheep in Crookwell and Alpacas in Bathurst.
 The move has not been without pain, with 2 alpacas dying along the way. One we are not sure of, but the one yesterday, a fit, fat young male, looks like snake bite. He had a lovely nature and a very nice fleece and will be missed. We will start mating again for spring births next year, using our Grey boy "Lavender Park Greymond" and our Highlander boy "Millduck Farnham". We have had one lovely girl from him from a "one more time", mating born in August, and she looks promising.
Our girls are on a pharlaris based pasture coming from our native grasses in Crookwell, we are watching very closely to see how they cope with the spring flush. It's a bit of a worry keeping livestock.
We had one poddy lamb this year, her mum had no milk, and she was the small twin weighing just 1.3kg when born. Now she is pest and growing well, although she didn't like her last vaccination jab. We hope to wean her next week. It will be good to get our back yard back!
I am studying a Diploma of Art (Tapestry) with Warrnambool TAFE, which is very challenging and I find the local art community is very inspiring and helpful as I struggle with alot of new concepts. A little later on when we get the Gallery page going I will risk putting some of my tapestry and print making up for you to see. The painting will have to wait until I finish something I like!
The picture with this installment is a photo of our latest cria, Georgie, named after the vet that helped her into the world. I hope you like it,
cheers

Our shearing date for the sheep has been set, and its next Thursday (6-10-06). We are looking forward to it as its then end of the sheep year, getting shorn, having a summer drench, weaning lambs, and put out to pasture to gather strength for lambing again next year.
With the drought well and truly throttling most of NSW its been a tough year. We will have to sell most of our hogget (14month old) sheep as we just dont have the pasture growth to sustain them and look after our land. They have grown out nicely but we dont like to sell such young stock. Our shearing day is also the start of filming for our DVD which is very exciting. It will focus of fleece collection, preparation for handspinning, carding of fleece and other fibres and some fabulous blends of fibres to try. The DVD will cover both wool and alpaca, both as fleece and in the increasingly popular top form. We will keep you posted on its progress.
It's school holidays for us now, so fencing and alpaca matings are also on the agenda, a busy time, our next crias are not due until Autumn.
cheers everyone.

Well the shearing of the sheep is done and dusted for this year, and what a fabulous harvest we have had. The fleeces are the best for years, with incredible length, style and softness being displayed in most of them. We also shore 4 alpacas, 2 young lads are staying in Crookwell until they grow up a bit. Unfortunatly we now have a poddy cria as her mum sucumbed to complications from a difficult birth. We haven't had alot of luck with the alpacas in the last 6 months, after years of relatively trouble free alpaca farming we are now getting our share of disappointments.
We are bringing as much fleece as possible to Bathurst , to put up on the website very soon, so keep your eyes on the shop.
We also started on the DVD which will have some hilarious out takes (bloopers) in the credits, its harder than I thought it would be. We hope to finish the filming in December.
I will write again soon when we get back to Bathurst,
cheers

Well I have just put some of the corriedale fleeces in the shop and they are lovely. Have a look and secure one before they go. I usually sell out pretty fast, with a big sale in Canberra coming up towards the end of November. I have finally taken delivery of some corriedale tops that have been a long time coming from Victoria. They are sensationally soft and will be online soon.
We have had a bit of rain here in Bathurst, with a bit more forecast, so here is hopeing,
cheers

I cant believe that it's been over a month since I last posted. Since then we have shorn our alpacas, so that all that remains to be shorn is our toy poodle, Lucy! The shearing went well, although it was just prior to the coldest cold snap in recorded history during November. At least it didn't snow!
All the animals are much more comfortable without their fleeces, and we have a number of lovely fleeces to put up on the website when time permits.
Peter and I then went to a Marty McGee-Bennet clinic in Crookwell. This much anticipated 3 day event gave us both such valuable tools to treat our animals with respect and kindness while having fun. After the Canberra Spinners and Weavers getaway weekend I then attended an advanced clinic, which is like reading the fine print.
The Canberra Weekend was fabulous with our fleeces enthusiastically received. I had so much fleece and fibre in the car I couldn't fit my spinning wheel in! On the way down to Victoria, it all fitted in the back.
Apart from some workshops planned next year, our next big gig will be at the Bendigo Wool show.
It has now got really hot here in NSW and we are starting to look at some hard decisions with the sheep to look after the land as well as the animals. Selling stock that are well bred, and in line with our objectives is not easy. If things continue down this path we will be like so many other people here; down to our core breeding stock. We really feel for the farmers that not only live on the land for lifestyle, but to earn a living, they have been doing it tough for years.
I will write again soon,
best wishes

Well our eldest has just turned 17, and already it's December. We go to our first Carols service tomorrow evening! This is just a little note to inform you all that I am getting a new order of merino tops in in the next week or so, so that section of the shop will look a bit more colourful. It's the busiest section of the shop, and I have had to start ordering larger lots to keep up so bring it on!
Continued training little alpaca weanlings today, as it was a bit cooler. We are coming into school holidays now, and start to oscillate between Bathurst and Crookwell feeding animals. Never a dull moment.
Stay safe on the roads everyone, through this the silly season, and our warmest best wishes of the Season to all our valued customers.
cheers

Our order has arrived so almost all the merino colours are on the web. I am going back to Bathurst once a week to check animals (our cousins are feeding them inbetween thank goodness), so can fill orders still during January, but cut us a bit of slack as I am now 2 hours from the stash.
I have bought a spinning wheel back to the farm along with a tapestry loom. I have one more tapestry to finish, and plan to finally spin up som silk waste. I dont have much left though as I am waiting on an order from the UK, with the silly season, things will be a bit slow.
Since we are on very strict water restrictions here at the farm (tank water only here and it simply wont rain), my dying will have to wait until I have a bit of time in Bathurst, hopefully mid January, so I am sorry that section of the shop looks a bit sparse.
I have a busy year planned for next year with a debut at the Bendigo Wool show, 3 days at the TAFTA fibre forum in Orange in April and Greenhills in November. As far as the business goes, that's about all I can manage with school and animals and other comittments. I also have 3 workshops to slate in in Canberra, Wollongong, and Eden. We plan to work them around the school holidays, particularly the Eden one! I will be covering everything from choosing a fleece to suit a project, to designer yarns, to dying. Should be lots of fun, and I will try and perfect the uploading of photos to show you some piccies.
Lately we have had a respite from the ferocious temperatures of late November early December, but I am sure it will heat up again; probably around Christmas. We have adjusted our stock on the farm, having to offload 16 sheep to ease the burden and reduce feed costs. The sheep are on full rations now, with the expectation that we will be feeding untill at least the end of April. If things dont pick up in the next month or so some of this years lambs will have to go as well. Probably all the wethers. The biggest problem is water. We aren't too bad with 2 out of our 4 dams still holding a good reserve, and 2 dry. However major producers around us are having to contemplate carting water for stock, which is hugely time consuming, expensive and seeminly never ending.
So keep our Aussie graziers and farmers in mind during this Christmas season. Our enterprise is boutique and not our main source of income, we really feel for our neighbors who haven't had an income for years.
Stay safe will write again soon. Any comments feel free to email us at info@braesidealpacas.com.au

Happy New Year everyone. I hope that all your plans, ideas and creative muse comes to fruition this year.
We had a quite Christmas, attending the local Christmas Eve service after a day of rain, which put a smile on everyones face. We had also welcomed a new little alpaca into the herd. Her name is Eve, and is a black female, with a white forehead. She is a full sister to one of our grey producers, so here's hoping. She is a sweetie and arrived without fuss, which has been a nice change.
For the first couple of weeks of January its been a welcome mild time, although still dry. Thunderstorms swirled around us but refused to drop less than a very brief shower on us which is very frustrating. All our alpaca girls are doing well and looking very pregnant, we have about 10 due this Autumn. They are all running late at the moment so we aren't hurrying back to Bathurst just yet, still doing our weekly visits. Thank you to all who have placed orders thus far this year. Thank you also for your patience as we oscillate between the farms and the stash. Once school goes back in late January, I will get stuck into new stock and fleece for you all to browse.
best wishes
Heather
4th February 2007
Well we are back at school and of course it's hot. Fortunatly the kids have a pool at school so summer sport involves getting wet. We have a recent arrival, a not so little light fawn girl born 3 days ago. She is out of one of our best females so we are hoping for some nice results. All the other pregnant girls are just hanging around, seemingly getting fatter. There has been some rain in Bathurst, but none yet at Crookwell. The sheep are doing well despite the dry, but its a worry to see our land look so care worn.
I have put some new fleece up on the website, so have a look in the shop for some new alpaca fleeces and corriedale fleeces. I have some more fleece back at Crookwell, but dont have the room here as yet. In a few weeks we are moving to a new place, closer to the kids school and also more space. Once settled I will be able to bring more fleece up to the stash.
There is also some new tops, white corriedale tops that are soft and lofty and will suit both the felter and spinner. I plan to dye some up as well, so keep checking the site. It's been very busy here, but as we get organised into our new home, I will be able to get more fibre dyed up.
I hope its rained where you are,
cheers
Heather
28th February 2007
We have started our move, and every day or so I fill the car up with clothes, small items, endless books (I am sure they breed in quiet places), art materials, looms spinning stuff and today some kitchen stuff. The stash is waiting for Peter to come home and move with the horse float. Even in just 18 months its amazing how things have accumulated. Our new home is closer to the kids school, nearly twice the size of this one, and has a garden. I have spent hours weeding out the grass in the back yard, removing a nasty weed that is endemic in Bathurst, but alot of you would know it: cat heads. They look innocous, but have a very vicious seed capsule that has sharp strong spines that can puncture a kids bike tyre and are very painful in feet. I have also been pulling them out in the alpaca paddocks, although they are not as thick there.
Over this past month there has been significant rain in Bathurst which has greened up things significantly, although the weeds that have sprung up on bare ground have been awesome. Back in Crookwell there has been some rain, but not enough to really get |
