Show Success
Due to bio-security concerns surrounding halter shows, we made the decision to only enter fleece shows in 2010 and 2011 where the risk of disease transmission is zero. Since then however, with improved, and now very good bio-security controls in place, we have commenced halter showing. The alpaca is bred for fleece production so it is essential to continue to concentrate on improving fleece quality and quantity. Competing at fleece shows, or halter events, is one effective means to assess how your herd breeding programme is progressing, judged in an independent environment against fellow breeders - it can also be great fun!

Willowbrook Inferno |
Description: |
Willowbrook Alpacas Inferno is a truly exceptional solid dark fawn macho. He is true to type, and stands on a very correct frame, with a deep broad chest and strong bone structure. With an enviable and proven pedigree, his sire is the Supreme Champion ‘Valley Alpacas The Diplomat’, and his dam is ‘Willowbrook Truffle’; a Brown Colour Champion and daughter of ‘Snowmass Sizlin Hot’. Inferno really is an outstanding male. His fleece is not only incredibly dense, but it is also fine, and exhibits uniformity in both colour and character. It is well organised, and aligned into bright, tightly crimped staples. The icing on the cake is that Inferno has the most delightful nature. He is full of personality, and his lovely temperament makes him an absolute charm! |

Willowbrook Tooty Frooty |
Description: |
A real favourite! Willowbrook Alpacas Tooty Frooty is a simply stunning, solid mid fawn daughter of Snowmass Sizlin Hot. Her fleece is very dense, but it is also very fine. Each staple is long, with a well defined, high frequency crimp style which extends right to the tip. Her fleece is also very uniform in all respects of colour, character, and fineness. These positive traits are not confined to her blanket, but continue well into her extremities. The brightness of her delightful golden coloured fleece, only adds to the beautiful soft handle. Combine this with her perfect compact conformation, lovely temperament, and very desirable head type, you can see why I am smitten!
