Shamarra Bacchus
Superb genetics in this upstanding male
Bacchus is loaded with superb genetics from both his dam and sire. Sired by Softfoot Casstalas MD ET and out of Shamarra Venus (Rising Sun/Seventh Heaven lineage), with a predominantly colour background.
He has a striking presence along with excellent conformation and a gentle disposition. His dense, soft handling and uniform fleece carries a high frequency style crimp that is well aligned.
Bacchus has had a successful show career, winning numerous championships. Both his parents have been awarded NZ National Championship titles along with many other show titles.
With extensive colour in his pedigree, he has potential to be a valuable male in a colour breeding programme.

“The scenery from where we interacted with the alpacas was stunning. We met the males and females separately - with the males, we patted and gave them hugs. Then towards the end, we hand fed the female alpacas. The kind guides refilled our bowls when we ran out and we could feed the cuties until our session ended. Shoutout to Jess and Akira for making the whole experience such a memorable one! Was super duper impressed that they could recognise what seems like all of the alpacas by name etc. Both of them also very kindly offered to help my husband and I take photos/videos :) Highly recommended to those who are considering visiting!”

“The highlight of our trip. The farm is well run and the alpacas are beyond cute. Amazing drive from Christchurch and spectacular views when we got there.”

“
Amazing experience! The alpacas are so cute. The staff is really dedicated to the animals and you can feel the passion for them. The view from the farm is stunning. They took really care of me and gave me a good time with the alpaca. I highly recommend this tour for each and everyone (solo traveller, group or family).

“Visited today for the full hands on experience with feeding and patting the alpacas. We were a couple minutes late and they accommodated for us even with the large group of people present. The staff are all very friendly and passionate about what they do which made it even better.”

“We took our kids here during the school holidays it was the highlight of their break. The location is stunning. The staff were very friendly, helpful and seem to really love what they do. As for the alpacas, INCREDIBLE animals! It was such a treat getting to mingle with them and see their different personalities.”
