We have been breeding alpacas since 2009 and enjoy passing on our knowledge and experience to new alpaca owners. Nutrition plays a very important role in the care and development of Redens alpacas as we want them to be in peak condition as they develop and grow. This is particularly important for pregnant females as in the months prior to birth the foetus is developing it's lovely fleece with correct nutrition playing a major role in the quality of that fleece. We have proven that by combining good husbandry, excellent genetics and a thoughtful approach to nutrition we have a developed a herd that produces both beautiful and advanced offspring giving us one of the finest black alpaca herds in the UK.
We are especially pleased with our females, mostly black with a few fawn and brown. We have put a great deal of effort into choosing and breeding these and believe we have some lovely black girls.
We handle our cria from an early age so they get used to being with people to make handling easy as they grow up. They are weighed weekly in their first few months and halter trained when they reach 6 months.
It is particularly pleasing to note that many of our Shadow progeny have finer fleeces than shadow did when he was a cria. Shadow won best black alpaca fleece at several Australian shows including the 2015 Australia National
We strive to have peaceful and easy to handle alpacas. This has been achieved this through frequent gentle handling.
