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.

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.

Date of Birth: 23/02/2021
Sire: Empire Tapestry (Rose Grey/Roan)
Dam: Silverstream Kalahari (Solid Light Fawn)
McKenzieFields Kokomo will be a fine addition to our stud in October. He has now been certified and will start his working career in the 2024 season.
Kokomo has an impressive genetic background. His sire, Empire Tapestry, was awarded champion roan at the 2019 New Zealand National show. His dam was awarded a 2nd place in the highly competitive light fawn section at the 2013 National Alpaca Show and achieved the same result at the Canterbury A & P Show.
Kokomo is a strong but gentle male with a dense and evenly grey-coloured fleece with excellent structure and handle. He has not been to show due to the Covid restrictions but his second fleece was entered at the 2023 Levin show and scored a very impressive 81/100. Given Kokomo's quality and range of colour genetics in his background, we can expect to see some exciting progeny in the years to come.
Stud fee: $500

Shearing is an important time of the year. Not only does it enable your alpacas to remain cool during the summer months but their fleeces become available to the owner.
This new page is an interactive detailed listing of all alpaca shearers operating in New Zealand.
During our farm tours, visitors ask many questions about the alpacas, from keeping them, on their health, to their breeding and much between. This page gives a selection of these along with concise answers and many pointers to more detailed information. This page is growing!
Directions - Once in Wanganui, drive up Somme Parade and when it becomes Papaiti Road (just past the cemetery), travel a further 7.4km alongside the river. We are the first house on the right with a large white letterbox and sign for the farm. On Google Maps we are shown as 'Te Korito Alpacas'.
