At Achnacone Alpaca Stud we are employing SRS® Technology in our Breeding Programme.

SRS® breeding is a proven way of improving the overall quality of aplacas. It has been applied successfully to merino flocks and angora herds worldwide.

The breeding objective is to maximise the density and length of fibres grown by the alpaca. If there are more fibres and longer fibres on the animal's body, the fleece weight will increase. And, as density increases, the fleece becomes sustainably finer in diametre.

The selection methods utilise both visual and measureable indicators of density and length.

Our Aims are to produce-:

• Bold bright soft handling fibre with excellent character
• Lustrous deep bold crimp made up of long thin staples all over the body
• Sound, strong framed alpacas
