Our successful alpaca herd is founded on three important principles. Sound management practices and excellent health care which are underpinned by world class genetics. Waters Edge Alpacas have selected their herd from a wide range of world famous bloodlines, see list below. Our years of experience in farming, before alpacas, has taught us the importance of tried and tested genetics. Those alpacas renown around the world have achieved this status because of their elite characteristics coupled with their pre-potent ability to pass these characteristics on to their progeny. We have made a deliberate decision to include many of these tried and tested bloodlines in our herd.
We farm in the rural countryside of Karaka, south of Auckland in an area well known for it’s many horse breeding studs. High quality land, gently rolling in nature, make for ideal alpaca country. We have purpose built sheds for shelter during the winter months, along with shearing sheds, pens and barns for overnight care, plus a dedicated Embryo Transplant facility (ET). The home paddocks are visible from our house and is where we keep our pregnant females as well as weanlings and any alpacas that need care or observation. A short distance away we have bigger paddocks where larger management groups can live during those months between scanning (post mating) and birthing, when they are brought back to the home paddocks.
