19.01.2022 11 more bales of AFNA SA alpaca wool at the depot for transportation to AFNA Victoria. From there, onto two clients for processing. All sold at a good price - more money going into the pockets of breeders shortly!

13.01.2022 Another 7 bales of alpaca off to be locally processed. With this years shearing underway, pay attention to how you handle it. There is money to be made.

11.01.2022 Mark Mullette spreading the word about breeders working together to push our industry forward. Something we have been pushing for the last few years. Have a look.

11.01.2022 Made with alpaca fibre from Alpaca Fibre Network (Aust), for which local breeders are receiving a return for their hard work and dedication to the Australian alpaca industry.

11.01.2022 First day at the Adelaide Royal Show with animal judging today, and AAA display for the nexr 5 days. Part of the display is a sample of good and poor fleeces as in the pics.

10.01.2022 AAA SA stand at the Adelaide Royal, promoting the fleece side of our industry. Lots of inquiry about animals and fleece from passers by. Many having a go at guessing the micron of various fleeces.

10.01.2022 We are drawing nearer to the closing date for our New Zealand order. Fleeces, particularly untested fleeces, need to be with us by the end of December to make the cut-off. With this in mind a series of collections have been organised in Victoria for the next few weeks. Check www.afna.com.au for details. For SA breeders contact Kerry Porter to arrange a sorting date. We are collecting coloured fleece in the 20 to 24 micron range for NZ.... We also have an order for 24 to 26 micron coloured fleece, including grey, for another client. See more

06.01.2022 We are proud to say that we have made some very good sales of fleece in the past six months, with breeders being paid good money for their time and investment. We have also received increasing interest from processors and are in need of more fleece to fill this interest. If you are holding back on joining AFNA, then now is the time to get involved, rather than having all that fleece sitting in the shed risking contamination and becoming mulch. We are particularly after clean BLACK and dark coloured fleeces for an international buyer looking to produce a 'clean and green', natural coloured range of products. We need fleece in the finer range for this order - 18 to 20 micron - but have a market for other microns (and colours!) as well. Don't hold back - the market wants your fleece!

05.01.2022 October 2017 - Update Demand for fibre has been steadily increasing, from customers both here in Australia and from overseas. Our problem at the moment is getting breeders to pull their fleece out of the sheds and get it to us for skirting, testing and classing. It seems that some breeders believe that fleece in the shed is worth more than fleece that is sold to eager buyers! Buyers are literally screaming out for fleece to process and make into product, but we cannot supply ...them with as much as they are asking for. This is a real shame as we know that there is fleece sitting in sheds, risking contamination and degradation, for the want of a bit of action by the growers. Currently we have standing orders for large quantities of huacaya in the 18 to 26 micron ranges, in all colours. If you are holding onto fleece in this range, then please contact us to arrange a time to help you make some good money from it. After all, it is actually worth more when you sell it, than having it sitting in the shed. See more
