There was an alpaca doing the show rounds in this country last year and you could say he swept the boards. He was called Navigator and what really interested me about him was his sire, called Spartacus owned by Matt Lloyd of EP Cambridge Alpacas in Australia.  Now I have known Chris and Adrienne of Ambersun Alpacas for many years and you might say they have a very “friendly” rivalry with Matt Lloyd, all together they are the  biggest names in the Aussie alpaca business. The important thing is the only time I have heard Chris and Adrienne compliment a Cambridge animal was when talking about Spartacus.

Having seen the results and listened to the comments I now have three of my best white huacayas in cria to Navigator all due next summer. If only the alpaca business was as easy as that, we all know that the chances of the perfect result are minuscule but it is the dreams that keep us going. All that said tonight I spotted something on the internet that got my heart fluttering…. follow this link ( or copy and paste it to your browser) and you will see why!!!
