We have been breeding alpacas since 2009 and enjoy passing on our knowledge and experience to new alpaca owners. Alpacas are fairly easy to look after as long as you get the basics right - good secure fencing, access to fresh water, good nutritious grass, freely available hay, and the correct amount of supplementary hard feed containing the minerals to match their native grazing conditions in the high Andes. In addition they need vitamin D supplementation during the winter months. Well balanced 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 in the months prior to birthing when the foetus is developing it's lovely fleece where correct nutrition plays a major role in establishing 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 beautiful offspring giving us one of the finest black alpaca herds in the UK. 

About Redens Alpacas

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
