Thankyou to all those that entered our name the cria competition on our open days. We have chosen Princess Lillibet for Princess Layla's cria - put forward by Jean Churchward from Kings Langley. Congratulations Jean - expect your alpaca scarf in the mail soon.

We have our first crias on the ground this season and they are looking good!! Beautiful colours as well as white - all healthy and running around the paddocks. Very exciting to see how they develop although we are impressed already.

Show season began late for us with other commitments intervening. Sydney Royal was our first for the year and we were very pleased with our results:
Enctandar Ring Master: 1st in Fleece, 3rd in Medium Fawn Adult Male & 2nd in Class for Hawkesbury Show with a 1st in fleece
Regal House Sir Leopold: 3rd in Jnr White Male (out of a class of 16) & 3rd in Intermediate Male at Hawkesbury
Regal House Oprah: 3rd in class for Fleece

Our 100% Regal House Alpaca knitting yarn has arrived! Two colours available - Cream and dark honey colour - available in skeins of 8ply knitting wool.

We have a new stud male to join our stable of working males - Ring Master is sired by the 2003 National Supreme Champion - Blue Grass Centurian, who is also a multiple Supreme champion winner in animal AND fleece classes.

Ring Master's dam and dam's family have produced show winners that have held their micron throughout their years - a testament that Ring Master's super-fine fleece which displays pencil stapling with a well defined high-amplitude crimp, will keep his fineness. He is medium fawn - or if you like, a honey colour. Ring Master brings another range of fabulous genetics to infuse into our herd including Jolimont Warrior, Jolimont Conquistador, Purrumbete Vanilla and Windsong Valley Royal Inca.

We would like to congratulate our new partners - Coolaroo Alpaca Stud and Signature Alpacas - for the purchase of shares in our champion sire Regal House Mr. Darcy - proof obviously IS in the progeny with both studs having Darcy progeny on the ground and being so impressed they wanted to be able to utilise him more. I'm sure Darcy won't mind!

Shearing is completed and just in time! Very hot weather for the week after shearing and they have had time to get used to being without "clothes" to cope with the cool snap!
We are extremely happy with the fleeces that have come off our herd this year with the younger progeny exhibiting some fabulous fleeces with excellent crimp style, density and fineness. We offer raw fleece for sale - watch our products for sale space - details coming shortly.

Alicia has been extremely busy in 2009 and 2010 running steward courses around the countryside on behalf of the AAA Ltd. She is in high demand in all states with all regions having very eager participants - so there should be a lot more qualified stewards and convenors out there now.

Darcy's progeny have continued their success in the show ring at the start of the show season for 2010. Congratulations to our clients for their success with their Darcy progeny.
