25.01.2022 Due to the severe drought in new England and our dwindling water supply we have our breeding herd of 120 females alpacas for sale. The animals have been hand fed since March and are in good condition. Glenhope alpacas has been in operation for 20 years. Thirteen years of our breeding has been directed by our breeding consultant Dr Jim Watts. Over the years our animals have shown exceptional gains in fleece weights, length and softness and low primary fibres. We are now processing our fleece into blankets so can show the superior processing of our wool. Approximaley 60 animals have been joined with their crias due April- May 2020. Our stud males will also be offerred for sale. Please phone for further information PH 0422969310 See www.glenhopealpacas.com.au

25.01.2022 This is the outcome of forgetting to turn the tap off at night in Armidale. Your own stalagmite formation. Fortunately the igloo effect saved the plants underneath.

22.01.2022 Student time again. Fortunately they will see green this year with over flowing dams.

21.01.2022 Young guns having a well deserved feed after their success at the New England Alpaca show. Two championship,reserve champion plus best white of the show. The judge deliberated closely between our champion junior female and a senior male for the supreme.

21.01.2022 Fabulous shawl knitted by Hazel Edmondson from our Glenhope yarn and sold very quickly on Onedayclosertorain site.Hazel commented that our yarn was softer than other alpaca yarn she has used and I have just posted another lot to her today. I am keen to see her next creation. Our knitting yarns are on our website www.glenhopealpacas.com.au/shop

11.01.2022 Sadly our remaining two fats cows are off to market today. It is all looking pretty grim. Even the kangaroos look unhappy.

03.01.2022 Little bit of alpaca shearing and because of close contact we are in masks. Glen hope alpaca stud. The alpacas ar restrained for there safety and ours. They are pulled out to a comfortable strain not to hurt the animals.
