Farm Tours
Farm tours are available for small groups and families to meet, feed, interact with and walk with our alpacas.
For full details and to book your experience of these wonderful animals, please go to our reservation form.
Minffordd Dean, Sunsetestate Bastille and Te Korito Indigo are our current stud males. These working males have proven themselves at our farm with many fine cria on the ground. These males are now offered for the improvement of your herd. Full details of each male are given below along with the stud fee. Discounts are available for multiple matings.
We offer both mobile mating (we visit your farm with the stud) or host your female at our farm for mating and staying with us until pregnancy is confirmed. Travel to your farm is free within the Wanganui region but beyond this, reasonable charges will need to apply.

Sire: NZ Southern Black Adder (Solid Black)

Dean was first shown at competition in 2012 where he won the junior male Huacaya (6 to 12 months) section. His fleece also won the grey section (6 to 12 months) at the Manawatu show. In 2014, he won Champion grey fleece at the Levin show with an impressive score of 71.5. Even now, his 12th fleece is still impressively soft, confirming his ability to provide enduring fineness in his off-spring.
He has a wonderfully calm temperament and is easy to handle, traits that show in his offspring.

Sunsetestate Bastille is the latest experienced stud male to join Te Korito alpacas. He was sired by Canchones Tycoon, a winner of multiple New Zealand show championships in breed and fleece. Bastille did not arrive with his previous fleece statistics but he is fine and has good density.
He has a lovely gentle temperament, is exceptionally easy to handle and during mating is relaxed but effective with the girls. His most recent (2023) cria has been a medium brown male.
