Welcome to the web site of GREENWOOD Alpaca Stud which is owned by Mena Schnizler and run by myself , Peter Sampieri & Gemma King, my grand-daughter who is the owner of GemStar Alpacas.(www.GemsStarAlpacas.com.au) Since our inception 14 years ago our breeding goal has always been to run a small herd, or boutique if you wish, specializing in GREY & BLACK. Our focus is always pro-active in the selection of improvement of colour consistancy, fleece micron reduction whilst improving weight and through careful selection of genetically superior males we consistently achieve a quality alpaca...sometimes not Grey or Black... but always a pleasing result of quality improvement with each new generation. Greenwood & Gemstar are both members of the Australian Alpaca Association and are located in the Victorian Eastern Region. We are also registerd in the Q-Alpaca program (10/0381) We also support other breeders by re-stocking with other farms alpacas hence you will always find different prefixes within our herd. We are located both in Dixons Creek, 50k's north east of Melbourne in the magnificent Yarra Valley AND Mansfield 2.5 hrs, also north east of Melbourne. Mansfield lies at the base of ski resort Mt Buller. We take our confirmed pregnant girls to this location to graze on 'natural' pasture which seems to make the alpacas thrive. Our love for these beautiful and intelligent animals never leaves us. |
