Welcome to
Baarrooka Alpacas
At Baarrooka, we breed high quality coloured suris. We have stud males and breeding females in all colours from white, through fawn, brown, roan/rose grey, silver grey, bay black and blue black.
Our breeding program is focused on fineness and density with the aim to produce high-performance animals as seed stock for commercial fleece and stud enterprises in Australia and around the world.
Breeding decisions are based on scientific measurement and utilise breeding aids including the SRS Alpaca breeding system, the Across-herd Genetic Evaluation for alpacas, and embryo transfer technology.
Our 2009 herd average for fineness is 22.9 micron and fleece weight is 2.53 kg. We are aiming to improve this to 20 micron and 3+ kg over the next 3-5 years.
To follow on from the two white Accoyo males we brought in from the US in 2006, we imported 4 black, 1 grey and 1 brown male and 2 black and 1 grey female from the US in 2010 to further our genetics and to improve the overall quality of coloured suri in Australia.
We are currently setting up a commercial white suri herd, shearing twice a year to produce ultrafine and superfine fibre for processing.
