SRS® is an Alpaca Breeding System that aims to improve the commercial value of fleece and animals. It does this by identifying those animals with superior genetics for density and length traits. Higher density and length produces larger quantities of fleece.
Those participating in SRS®, have a focus on the breeding a genetics pool of measurably superior commercial animals from which seedstock may be offered to other breeders with a similar focus.
SRS® Alpacas International provides an opportunity for subscribers to sell alpaca classed as suitable for use in an SRS® Breeding Program. These alpaca will have been inspected by an accredited SRS® Breeding Advisor and in some cases will have been skin tested to determine their density and length profiles.
Sales Policy:
- All alpacas sold through SRSAI will hold a numbered passport
- The passport details the skin test or fleece screening results as well as the SRS® classing results
- The price advertised through SRSAI for alpacas will include a commission paid to SRSAI and / or (if sold through an overseas agent)
- All negotiations on the price of alpacas will be through the administration of SRSAI

30/08/10 - SRS® Conference in Western Australia - thanks Carolyn & Peter
On 21 and 22 August, 51 of us gathered at Carolyn and Peter Richard’s Suncloud Farm in Merredin WA for a series of talks, discussions, and demonstrations centered on the theme of working together to breed, consolidate, and deliver superior alpaca fibre to high end, luxury markets. The write-up in the Weekly Livestock (Western Australian version of the Land newspaper) was titled 'Positive focus on Australian alpaca industry'. The article was very supportive of the work undertaken by SRS®, Breeding Advisers and working parties to push the industry forward into the fibre and textile market.
The facilities at Suncloud are magnificent, and Peter and Carolyn (a powerhouse pair) and their enthusiastic team warmly welcomed us all and ensured that we were warm, dry, instructed, entertained, and very well fed over 2 days; giving us not only a superb 4 course conference dinner in the Igloo on Saturday night, but a 3 course breakfast at 8am the following morning! All our Western Australian subscribers attended – well done - and were joined by subscribers from New South Wales, Victoria, and New Zealand.
We are indebted to Carolyn and Peter and their team for the superb facilities we enjoyed at Suncloud, and for their great organisational skill in ensuring all who attended had such a wonderful and exciting 2 days. Thank you again.
