Commencement of the Adventures

"We didn’t know what was coming"........

We went to New Zealand and bought approximately 100 Alpaca that were part of the original Agricola shipment that had recently arrived from Chile. Mr Brian Bassett Smith did the export quarantine near Timaru in the south Island.
For a number of years we bred from this group of Alpaca, at the same time researching the various aspects about alpaca exports from Peru.
In this the 1st of the larger groups to arrive in Australia from New Zealand, one of the males that stands out, in particular Jolimont Buster a good quality Black Male, even today. Buster’s influence is noted with his projeny still a cut above the rest , as the overall quality of blacks have become better since the first arrivals.

Jolimont Alpaca is in the process of dedicating part of the property in Lancefield Victoria to an export Quarantine Facility.
This will enable a number of breeders to take advantage of the experience Jolimont Alpaca has in the Importing & Exporting process over the past 20 years or so.
We invite all breeders to discuss with Pat & Rosa, the Export of their Alpaca to any country.

The Company in Peru that provides the Services of Exporting for Jolimont Alpaca has on board as Principal Director Mr H Gomez whose experience in the Exporting & Fibre Processing Industry dates back to 1984.

The best Alpaca breeder in Peru, which has in excess of 75 years of controlled Alpaca breeding, is Accoyo, created by the Barredda family. Accoyo has had the most influence on Alpaca breeding, in Australia and likely the world.
Of all the Western breeders (gringo’s) that have visited Accoyo over the years, Rosa and Pat are the breeders that have managed to obtain the males that have had a fantastic influence on the quality of Alpaca in Australia.
