Suri Alpacas

Melanie, Simon and family together with James run Moonsbrook Alpacas as a joint family business. Together they take great pride in offering clients support and advice. They have taken great care in the selection of bloodstock to ensure strong uniform genetic lines that will impart desirable characteristics to their progeny.

This in turn will ensure their long-term success and that of their clients through minimising breeding risks and developing the sale of high priced bloodstock and fibre, both domestically and into the ever growing European market.

They have a vision that is shared by many breeders of Suri alpacas around the world. That vision is one day to breed and maintain a herd of Suri alpacas that clip a fleece weighing greater than 7kg, finer than 18 microns and with the luster of glass. By learning from the research and experience in the merino, angora and alpaca industry in Australia and North America we can improve breeding decisions and explore the link between nutrition, physiology and fibre. Our own experience tells us that our goal is attainable if we apply all that we have learnt and use males that consistently produce uniform progeny that carry the traits we desire and use newly developed breeding strategies that are proven to improve the annual clip in leaps and bounds while keeping

a uniform colour.

James Young

James worked most of his life at the family business, Young and Co’s Brewery PLC. As deputy chairman, James was involved in brewing, transportation and the export of their beer products all over the world including the United States. During a day out at the New Forest Show five years ago with Youngs’ Shire horse team, James stumbled upon alpacas for the first time. The alpacas sparked an interest with James and on his retirement in 2007 he began to research the UK alpaca industry. His research led him to Inca Alpaca and Tim Hey where James embarked on his own alpaca journey with six pregnant black and grey Huacayas and the formation of Yojeff herd. James’ interest and experience grew quickly as his exposure to the UK scene increased and when the opportunity arose to acquire the entire prize winning EP Cambridge Alpaca Stud Suri herd the lure 337 Suris was too great and Moonsbrook Alpacas was formed
