On a trip to Peru and Chile in 1989, we first encountered alpacas and were intrigued by these fascinating animals. Little did we think at that time that we would be proud owners in a few years time.
In 1991 we decided to leave suburbia and head for a rural lifestyle change, so we moved from Sydney to a five acre property at Windsor. While there, we purchased our first 3 alpacas and we were very proud of our acquisitions at that time. We have come a long way since then:
We have improved our genetics to continue winning in a highly contested show ring.
After 11 years our large herd had outgrown Windsor, so we decided to make the move to a much larger rural property. We relocated to Yass, renowned for being a superfine wool district, located 50 minutes from Canberra and 3 hours from Sydney.
“Shephard’s Rest” is situated on 135 acres, 6 mins off the Hume Highway, has permanent water, plenty of paddocks for grazing and many shade trees for the alpacas to relax under. The alpacas think they are in seventh heaven with 10-20 acre paddocks to meander through.
Alpaca Partners began with a variety of coloured alpaca; however, over the years we have changed direction and now breed for white and fawn. Hence 80% of our herd is now light in colour, with black, grey and brown animals making up the balance. The herd consists mainly of Huacaya with some Suri.
From the onset of our breeding programme we have sought elite genetics, striving to advance the quality of our herd which now contains 41% of superfine animals.

Martini was one of our first ET cria. She has grown out well and has lovely soft handling fleece with good crimp definition. She would be an asset to any herd.
