About Traron
Traron is run by Bill and Annette Robbins together with their daughter Tracy.
The stud was established in 1989 with the purchase of 3 pregnant females. One with a male cria at foot. Today we run approximately 400 alpacas, both Huacaya and Suri and of all colours.
Bill is one of Australia's foundation alpaca judges.
He has judged every major show in Australia at least once, including being the only Australian to judge the National show three times. Bill has judged in the United States, Canada and New Zealand and was the first Australian judge to be asked to judge overseas. He is also an I.A.J.S (International Alpaca Judges School) of Peru accredited international judge.
Annette is the hostess and jack of all trades. After thirty five years on the land she can turn her hand to all aspects of animal husbandry and thus Annette often remains at home to cria down females and see everything runs smoothly on the property while Bill is away judging.
Tracy has an honours degree in Agricultural Science (Melbourne University) and when not travelling and working as an Artificial Breeding Consultant in Beef Cattle (Specialising in Embryo Transfer) throughout Eastern Australia assists with all aspects of alpaca breeding including helping design the breeding programme for both Huacaya and Suri.
Breeding Philosophy
Our breeding philosophy is based on Australia 's highly successful Merino sheep industry as Bill is a fifth generation Merino sheep breeder and wool classer with over 40 years experience breeding fibre producing animals. We breed alpacas not just to collect them.
Superior sires with unique fibre and conformation genetics have been sourced and used to develop elite alpacas suited to Australian conditions. These animals have been selectively bred since 1989 to produce soft handling, dense, superfine alpaca fibre, using a balance of Accoyo, Rural Alianza and Sollocoto genetics.
We pride ourselves on our honesty and integrity, which along with our alpaca knowledge is second to none in the industry. This service and backup is available to all.
Traron is situated at Holbrook, New South Wales. Five minutes off the Hume Highway, almost half way between Melbourne and Sydney.
