We have a small select herd of true black huacaya alpacas allowing us to offer personal attention to both our animals - and our clients. We have individual alpacas for sale from our breeding stock and when available, we also offer packages of animals as exceptional pets, companion animals or for use as herd guardians. 

Our black alpacas have been bred from quality black huacaya animals with impeccable pedigrees and all are IAR registered. We started with proven breeding females and have continued to mate them with exceptional males to enhance the quality of crias born on the farm. All of our animals boast a verifiable unbroken black pedigree as far back as Australian records allow. It would appear Clifden is the only stud in Australia maintaining this standard. When we say we aim to breed happy healthy black alpacas with fine dense fleece and sound conformation, this is what we do and the results are evident.

And why black? For sheer eye appeal, nothing beats black. Black alpacas look stunning in the paddock and produce fleece that requires no chemical dye. Alpacas are the only fleeced animals that produce true blue-black fleece. Black is always in fashion and that is why Clifden Alpacas shear black!

The Clifden herd of traditional black Belted Galloways originated from highly regarded bloodlines, selected and bred with commercially focused objectives. We breed contented healthy stock with quiet temperaments and outstanding carcase characteristics in terms of yield and eating quality.

The majority of our herd is A-Grade stock registered on the Australian Belted Galloway Association herdbook. We do also run some exceptional commercial animals, offering the opportunity to purchase at varying price points.

We have quality animals for sale at realistic prices across all classes: steers, cows, heifers, and at times, 3-in-1 packages (cow in calf with calf at foot) and bulls. Please contact us if you are looking for attractive easily-managed cattle for a small rural holding or star performers for a stud or commercial enterprise.

While we selectively breed with a commercial focus, there is no denying that like everyone else, we appreciate the endearing nature of the Belties and their eye-catching presence in the paddock.
