Sydney Royal Easter Show 2014

Glenhope had a very successful Royal Eater show entering 14 fleeces and receiving 11 ribbions including 2 Championships for age and one overall championship for colour. The majority of the animals were sired by Suncloud Talahasi from Western Australia who has injected excellent character into the fleeces.

Subsequent classing of the animals by Dr Jim Watts has identified a number of younger males that could be classed as impact males for the future.

Glenhope Eccles - 48 - 60 months fleece champion

Ghenhope Higgeldy 12 - 18 months fleece champion

Glenhope Hugo 12 - 18 months light fawn first place

Glenhope Juniper - Champion fawn fleece of the show

Welcome to Glenhope Alpacas

Glenhope is situated on 60 hectares of land, 4 kms from Armidale in Northern NSW, Australia. With a combination of native and improved pastures, mild summers and cool winters the conditions are perfect for breeding alpacas. On our property we use sustainable farming practices and each year we fatten about 40 angus weaners for market.
Over the years we have traveled extensively looking at animals and keeping up to date with cutting edge breeding technologies.

The relationships we have developed with like minded breeders in Australia and overseas are invaluable and we hope to continue developing this network of people.

David together with Dr Jim Watts is committed to teaching and assisting breeders in Australia and other countries become involved in using the SRS® breeding system designed by Jim following many years of research at the C.S.I.R.O. Workshops have been held in Germany, Northern and Southern Germany, Italy and the United kingdom.

Bron and David welcome inquiries from new and established breeders wanting to explore the possibility of breeding alpaca for the first time or for breeders wanting to gain an understanding of the advanced breeding techniques used at Glenhope using this proven scientific system.
