Stud Services

Te Korito Alpacas currently has two resident stud males, Te Korito Indigo (medium fawn) and Sunsetestate Bastille (dark brown). These males have brought fineness and density into our herd. These males will shortly be joined by McKenzie Fields Kokomo (Rose-grey/Roan). Full details and photographs of these males can be found on the stud services page.

Alpaca Products

Alpaca fibre is the superior choice for home spinners and knitters. Te Korito Alpacas sell a range of knitted and crocheted items in unique designs which make either fantastic gifts or something to spoil yourself! We also sell professionally carded slivers produced from our own animals for the spinners out there.
