Clifden Alpacas
ALPACAS, BLACK ………
ALWAYS IN FASHION ALWAYS IN VOGUE
ALWAYS IN DEMAND………………. and AVAILABLE NOW ***** (see below)
*****THE OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE THE WELL KNOWN CLIFDEN HERD OF ALL BLACK HUACAYAS HAS ARISEN DUE TO A SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN FARM AREA. OUR ALPACAS ALL HAVE A CONSISTENT BLACK PEDIGREE AS FAR AS AUSTRALIAN RECORDS ALLOW .
ONE GROUP HAS ALREADY SOLD AND BEEN HAPPILY RELOCATED.
THERE ARE 19 ALPACAS REMAINING INCLUDING 2 STUD MALES, BREEDING FEMALES, 7 CRIA AT FOOT, PLUS 6 MORE CONFIRMED PREGNANCIES AT THIS STAGE and 1 WETHER.
THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO ADD NEW GENETICS TO AN ALL BLACK HERD, START A NEW HERD OR ADD COLOUR TO YOUR OWN HERD. THE CLIFDEN HERD ORIGINATED FROM CAREFULLY CHOSEN CANCHONES ANIMALS AND HAS BEEN ENHANCED BY PURCHASING AN ELITE SELECTION FROM HIDDEN LAKE AND WHARNCLIFFE STUDS, AMONGST OTHERS.
THE GENERATIONAL BLACK PEDIGREE MEANS BLACK, BLACK, BLACK!
IDEALLY WE WOULD PREFER THE GROUP TO REMAIN TOGETHER (AND A GENEROUS BULK PURCHASE DISCOUNT APPLIES) BUT WOULD CONSIDER SPLITTING FURTHER INTO 2 SMALLER GROUPS. IN FACT ALL GENUINE ENQUIRIES ARE WELCOME. THE WELFARE OF THE ALPACAS IS PARAMOUNT. OUR PRICING STRUCTURE IS VERY REALISTIC AND DEFINITELY A SECONDARY FACTOR.

Alpacas possess a unique combination of very special qualities that suit both the serious breeder and/or the lifestyler. They are gentle inquisitive animals - all with individual personalities. Each year they produce luxuriously soft fleece ideal for spinning, felting, weaving and knitting, and for sale to manufacturers. Alpacas are effective nutrient converters and are extremely environmentally friendly with minimal impact on fragile ecosystems.
Clifden Farm is an exclusive breeder of black huacaya alpacas, producing top quality fleece through superior genetics and exceptional care. Our picturesque West Gippsland location in the foothills of the Strzelecki Ranges provides the ideal climate mix to produce outstanding animals. We are members of the Australian Alpaca Association and all our stunning black alpacas are listed on the International Alpaca Register.
The following links will provide further confirmation that alpacas really do fit the bill as the ideal choice for small scale farming. Alpacas are a pleasure to own and manage, providing a source of endless wonder - and it can even be done by the first-time farmer!
Our animals produce fabulous fleece which we have expertly processed in Australia. Luxury black or cocoa black yarn in both 4py and 8ply is available right here online from the Clifden Farm Shop. We also have gorgeous grey yarn - achieved by milling our own black fibre with a small quantity of high quality white. All of the yarn sold under the Clifden label is 100% pure Australian alpaca, all natural with never any chemical dyes added.
Clifden Alpacas is proud to have written and published 2 children's alpaca books 'Archie the Black Alpaca: Archie's Haircut', and 'Archie's Big Win'. The books are beautifully illustrated in full colour with soft covers. They are wonderful read aloud stories for young children, and/or interesting tales for early readers to practise their skills. We know that both children and adults are delighted by the stories and sympathetic illustrations of alpacas and farm life in general.
