Welcome to Tathara Alpacas.

John & Kerri have been breeding huacaya (wa-ki-a) alpacas since 1993 with a focus on high quality fibre and confirmation. Our herd consists mainly of fawn and white alpacas with a more recent introduction of grey alpacas.

John has been both ring steward and chief steward for many years at Alpaca shows in Victoria assisting at the Royal Melbourne Agricultural Show, the National Alpaca Show, Australian Sheep & Wool Show - Bendigo, Ballarat Sheep & Alpaca Show, Stawell, Shepparton and Bendigo Alpaca shows.
He is known for his high standard of alpaca handling in the
show ring, assisting both judges & handlers.

Kerri has been instrumental in adding the alpaca products to
our business. She hand knits high quality baby products in
100% Australian grown & processed yarns along with a selection in imported alpaca & silk yarn.

We are situated at Gisborne in Victoria, just 45 minutes along the Calder Highway from Melbourne, 25 minutes from Melbourne airport via Sunbury. We are happy to share our experiences and talk about alpaca ownership.

All visits and inquiries are welcome. Please feel free to call 03 54 284 661 and we will be happy to arrange a time for your visit.
