Jay and Hilary share the running and care of their alpacas on a daily basis.

Jay had a very ordinary office job until alpacas entered his life several years ago. Then, having a mid-life crisis, he embarked upon an intensive learning curve, found that alpacas were an ideal balance to the hectic life we lead, bought three pregnant girls and a young male and now runs over 50 alpacas and has given up the “day job” to concentrate on alpacas full-time.

During the last few years, Jay has continued to develop his alpaca knowledge and skills. He is a qualified BAS Judge, having judged shows both at home and overseas, continues to ring steward (many of you will have seen him working during the shows), is a past BAS director and a government advisor on camelids.
Jay is constantly learning more about alpacas and their care and breeding and, as many will know, is an advocate of the whole alpaca industry.

Hilary shares Jay’s ideals in alpaca care and is the cornerstone of the farm. Hilary has the  organisational flair and keeps the farm records up-to date, organises the training courses and dates and, most importantly, allows Jay the time to visit other alpaca owners delivering training and advice by keeping the farm running when Jay is away.
