24.01.2022 We are sometimes asked if Alpacas are any good as guards and do you need one or two? Tonight heading into the paddock it was clear that something was a miss. There was a threat in the paddock and the alpacas rounded up the goats and kept them in a huddle until the 'threat' had passed. Here they are guarding the goats...except for one, Drambuie, who was having a pee.... The threat? A 'killer' wombat.

23.01.2022 Another little one to help continue the gene pool and breed.

22.01.2022 Can you stand by what you sell? Are your NVDs clear, correct and complete? With the release of updated versions of Livestock Production Assurance National Vendor Declarations (LPA NVDs) for all species, watch this video to make sure you are completing your NVDs correctly.

20.01.2022 A sad day on our farm today. We had to say goodbye to one of our matriarchs, Toppsy (Grey Top in the stud book). She, and her sister Moppsy (Jet Star), were our first greys and we bought them from Val Donald over 11 years ago. RIP Toppsy and thank you for being such a big part of our Heritage Angora Goat journey.

07.01.2022 The alpacas have been on guard again defending the goats from dangers. This time there were three 'killer' kangaroos. (Well I think they are kangaroo, they are much larger than the wallabies we normally see)

06.01.2022 HAGSA is Seeking to contact Christine Stanley of Royston Stud. We no longer have any contact details for this important Heritage Angora Stud. If anyone can assist please contact us. Thank you

06.01.2022 On 6 September we found our only, precious black doe Star, lying on her side in the paddock. She was due to kid in 10 days. After tests, it was determined tha...t she had been bitten by a snake. Devastated, we did all we could to save her. She has made some improvements from her almost comatose state and can now sit up. Her front legs now move and her back legs are starting to show signs of movement. The road to recovery is going to be long. But yesterday a miracle happened. She delivered a beautiful little doe. Although white in colour, she will be carrying her mother's black coat gene. Praise the Lord.

02.01.2022 Fresh baby! Australian Heritage Angora goat, Pippin and his mum Ash.

02.01.2022 Today we delivered two of our most beautiful does, Feebee and Lace to their new home in Tyabb. It's always sad to say goodbye. We know they will be cared for and loved. May you have long happy lived beautiful ones and make lots of babies.
