Yaringa Alpacas is owned and managed by Susan Haese. We purchased our first two alpacas as pets in 2000 and our fascination with these animals led us to purchase our first two girls in 2002.

Over the next few years we bred a few alpacas of our own and purchased a few more. Our herd grew and by mid 2005 we had 15 animals.

Yes, alpacas are addictive!! At this point we decided to build our hobby into a business and purchased syndicate shares in three elite black males, "Coonawarra Gladiator", "Bonnie Park Black Thunder" and "Coonawarra Thunderbolt".

We showed our first alpacas in 2004, and as the years have gone by the show team has got bigger and better each year. Our show results from the beginning are on the "show results" page of this website.

In 2008 we added the elite males "Ambersun King's Ransom" (light fawn) and rose grey male "Alpacaspecialist Red Baron". In October 2009 we added "Canchones Ferrari Black ET" (black) and "Shanbrooke Simply the Best" (light fawn) and in 2013 is "Pentland Giorgio" joined the stable.

We are excited to announce the purchase of our new stud male "EP Cambridge Voyager". April-May 2015 saw the Yaringa herd move from our base at Currency Creek to our exciting new home "Coomooloo Station" at Bald Hills between Inman Valley and Yankalilla. Coomooloo is traditionally a sheep property and the nearly 1000 acres will give our alpacas plenty of room to move.

Since arriving at Coomooloo, the Yaringa herd goes has gone from strength to strength - our alpacas are growing out quicker and are stronger have longer staple lengths.

Our goal is simple  – to breed elite alpacas.

Mioshi Park Alpacas are now offering personalised wedding (and other special events) packages.

We will provide alpacas, that have outstanding manners and loads of cuteness factor, to make you and your guests go wow (they will try their best not to outshine the bride or guest of honour though!!!) ​ They will happily pose for photographs, interact with guests, and even wear bow ties, veils, or something to match your colour scheme, if that is what you choose.

• Mioshi Park Alpacas has numerous colours, microns and amounts of fleece for sale
• All fleeces have been skirted as best as possible, however some vegetable matter may remain

We didn’t realise how remote we were until moving to Lauriston! We are enthusiastic breeders of fine quality alpacas of all colours except black. Our herd now numbers 120 which apart from seasonal births and sales, we will not increase, opting for quality rather than quantity.

We have proven stud males available for outside matings which have been selected for specific traits allowing us to produce excellent cria from many different styles of female.

We also have up and coming males which are shown extensively as part of their assessment as stud breeders. We have females for sale ranging from white to dark brown including premium animals with show success.

They can be purchased with a cria at foot and/or with a guaranteed pregnancy to one of our stud males. We have a limited number of stud quality males for sale all of which have proven genetics and show success.

We have a small herd of 30 Alpacas, but are consistently purchasing alpacas to diversify and improve our genetics.  We halter train all cria when they are weaned to ensure the easiest of handling & safety for both you and the alpaca.

If you are new to alpacas, we are happy to offer support and advice on all aspects of alpaca ownership.

With a small herd of alpacas, Royal View Alpacas have a small selection of animals for sale. Ranging from friendly, halter trained, show quality alpacas, stud males, pets and herd guards, all carrying good genetics.

Our alpacas are competitively priced, with older females (some with cria) and herd guards starting from $ 400.00 incl. GST. Our animals are all registered with the Australian Alpaca Association. Membership and transfer costs are the responsibility of the new owners.

Discounts apply for multiple purchases.

We are happy to offer free delivery within 50km with the purchases of two or more alpacas, or for a small fee we can deliver up to 100km to cover fuel costs.

Spinning or felting? Skirted fleeces are available for sale, priced per kilo according to quality and colour.

Knitting? Processed alpaca fleece available for sale, priced according to colour.

Young show quality males and females, females with cria at foot, mature females mated to our and outsourced stud males – our gate is always open and welcome you to inspect our alpacas to match your requirements of age, conformation and fleece quality.

If you are new to breeding alpacas, purchasing older, proven breeders – girls who have successfully delivered and raised cria, with no complications, are a great place to start.

We offer a fertility guarantee with all alpacas sold as breeding stock, a certification guarantee for all potential stud males and a live cria guarantee for all pregnant females.

Selecting an alpaca as a companion needs careful consideration. Not all alpacas enjoy human company – regardless of how often or how gently they are handled. Our alpacas are available for sale at the time of weaning – usually 5-6 months of age.

When they are weaned they can go through a stage when human company is well received. For the best selection we suggest visiting the farm early in our breeding season while they are still with mum – their cuteness means they don’t last long!

Alpacas thrive with other alpacas and will fret if kept alone. We started with 3 older females, 2 with cria at foot.

They are the most glorious animals to have in your life, full of fun and curiosity.

Alpacas are so versatile and are suitable animals for small breeding herds, commercial herds, as livestock guardians, pets, high quality fiber producers or show animals.
They eat relatively small amounts, especially when compared with other livestock and give so much in return with minimal maintenance.

We are very passionate about the wellbeing of our alpacas and offer ongoing support and advise to anyone who purchases our animals and anybody who may need any help, so please don't hesitate to contact us.

Whispering Gums Alpacas like many studs/breeders before us started with pet alpaca's. These marvellous animals captivated us from the moment they arrived on the property. From here being totally intrigued by these majestic animals our herd slowly grew and before we knew it we had 30 alpacas in our small herd.
​
Our passion for these animals set us on a journey to learn more. We were introduced to breeding by fellow alpaca lovers and have been guided and mentored along the way by some very knowledgeable and passionate breeders. To them we are forever grateful.
​
Realizing we were outgrowing our 6 acre property we moved the family and the herd to " Bundara View " a truly beautiful property of 140 acres on the Leigh River Valley in Inverleigh.
​
Our breeding aim is to focus on all coloured alpacas, endeavouring to produce strong true to type animals with correct conformation, density, uniformity and fineness.

In 2017 we realised a dream when they purchased Manuka Cottage Farm - a picturesque cottage nestled on a small farm on the outskirts of Waimate.

Now home to Revelation NZ Alpaca Stud, Manuka Cottage Farm is starting to take shape. With long terms goals to develop a farm shop and art gallery - we are currently focused on developing a strong breeding programme and learning as much as we can about producing high quality alpacas.

We are dedicated to our industry and giving back however we can. In 2020 Jakki took up the position of Treasurer on the National Council for the Alpaca Association New Zealand and she is committed to helping build a vibrant positive organisation, that supports alpaca owners and breeders at all levels. She believes that a vibrant association with a strong industry focus is the way forward.

While we are committed to our modern grey/roan breeding programme, we are also committed to breeding quality alpacas - across the colour spectrum.

In 2020 we have added a new sire to our line up - Waikara Park Ambrose. He brings many fine qualities to our breeding programme and a good option for our lighter coloured females.

We have a selection of proven, and young sires which we stand at stud at our property in Waimate, South Cantebury.

Being located on Australia's smallest Island, Riverdance Farm is in the Hobart and South region of the Island. That means we are in the most beautiful area of the State (but we don't like to brag). The kunanyi ranges are in our backyard, which makes up 40% of the States national parkland.

A beautiful 18-acre working farm, Riverdance Farm nestles against the Crabtree Rivulet. Here you can enjoy a lovely tranquil morning stroll, spotting wildlife and our resident platypus. We host guests in our fully self-contained guesthouse.

Our guesthouse is a separate unit with a fully equipped kitchen, beautiful lounge room, laundry and master bedroom, with a deck running off the lounge room overlooking the paddocks and nestled in the kunanyi foothills.

Don't be surprised to look out the window onto the paddocks and some of our alpacas that produce fabulous fleeces for spinners and knitters.

We are a little farm. JenEric Alpaca Farm breeds Suri Alpacas from highly regarded genetics primarily for their fleece. Situated at Larnook in the Northern Rivers of NSW, the farm has been developed specifically for Alpaca breeding. We have developed abundant water supplies, grass feed and extensive predator proof fences, all to provide a safe, well looked after herd of 30 alpacas. ​

Our animals are renowned for their excellent condition and temperament, thereby producing excellent fleeces for producing woven yarns. The fibre is spun into skeins and cones by expert micro mills here in Australia, then woven by local weavers into fine clothes and apparel such as scarves, knee blankets, ponchos, and cowls. ​

Our fleeces are award winners. Their fibre has a very high Comfort Factor (CF) – many around 99.6% - with low micron count, good staple length, and high lustre levels. While predominantly white yarn, we also have black, appaloosa and multicolour varieties. The yarn is available in skeins and cones, from 4 to 8 eight ply, with a fleece mix (usually) of 65% Suri, 25% Huacaya, and 10% Merino to provide shape and further comfort. Some of our selection includes yarn of almost pure Suri fleece. ​

All our beautiful Alpacas and their various award ribbons from national fleece shows are detailed here on the website. While you are here, why not also have a look at the variety of colours and yarns we now have available.

We first started in the breed in 1995 so we have more than 20 years of hands-on experience with these beautiful animals. During this time we have bred many Champions.

The quality fleeces produced right here on the farm are used in our garments and yarns. ​

Our breeding program produces a range of quality alpacas in different colours and is producing award-winning animals with excellent conformation and outstanding fleece.
