FARM TOURS

Our farm tours run daily - but must be booked in advance, as we are primarily a working farm!

 

Checking each other out!  Sit quietly and the alpacas will usually come right up to sniff you!

SENSATIONAL SURIS

With just a few days to go until our 2012 shearing, these three young females have a last chance to show off their first fleeces!

SURI CRIA

Impossible to resist - suri cria are stunning from day one!

Thunderbolt continues to impress with these two cria, born in Spring 2012, being good examples of what he is producing for us:

 

 

These two cria from the spring 2012 drop are both from our Alcazar herd, co-owned with Deb Smith and Dave Cooper, and are sired by Surilana Mister Macusani ET.  We are extremely impressed with the greasy lustre, density and stocky frame he is passing on to his progeny:

 

April 2012 saw the arrival of the long awaited first progeny of Birrong Thunderbolt - we are delighted with this little female, even at 24 hours old!
