We at Kelowna Alpaca Farm take pride in our alpaca herdsires which have been chosen for their high quality fibre and conformation.

Nowadays, the astute, serious breeder is much more selective about alpaca herdsires (machos) chosen for their breeding programmes. They are selecting conformationally correct herdsires with finer fibre, low consistency of variation and higher fleece weights. The higher quality of fleece results in a higher quality of end product and therefore demands a higher end value which is what this industry is all about.

The alpaca herdsires at our farm consistently reinforce our reputation of offering quality alpacas by distinguishing themselves in the show ring, the birthing pastures and the marketplace.

Kelowna Alpaca Farm alpaca herdsires stand ready to service your lovely ladies at our farm where they will receive the very best of hands-on care as offered anywhere. All pregnancies are confirmed by ultrasound and a live birth guarantee of 30 days is standard to all breeding contracts.

 

Our prize Herdsire

Jolimont Peruvian Viracocha has proven himself as one of the top huacaya alpaca herdsires in Canada.

Ownership of desirable genetics goes hand in hand with breeder responsibility. We have deliberately kept his breedings to a minimum so as to give our clients every advantage in the marketplace by not having to compete with an overabundance of his offspring.

Selected by Cameron Holt for Kelowna Alpaca Farm, the "V" is consistently leaving his stamp of quality fibre and substance in his multi-ribbon winning offspring.

4 of his offspring won $2420 in prize money at the Canadian National Alpaca Futurity, March 2002.
