I’m a bit of celebrity around the farm and on social media. My fleece is super soft and luxurious, but even more than that, I’m apparently a one-of-a-kind, perfect specimen of an alpaca! I’m also as lovable as I am handsome, so pop into Shamarra Alpacas for a tour and a pat.

A glamorous damsel through and through, I’m a big fan of being groomed well ahead of a photo op (your next selfie on a farm tour). My big eyes look even better when my fleece is on fleek. And I’ve been known to wear the odd denim jacket or hat, depending on the season.

But don’t be intimidated by my flair for fashion; I’m always up for a solid cuddle like my other friends.

I absolutely adore wee human kiddos and alpaca babies alike! Arguably the friendliest of all the furry faces here at Shamarra, I like to get visits and snuggles year-round.

SOFTFOOT SHAMARRA TRINITY SM ET

PRODUCING STAND OUT PROGENY

Trinity was bred in our successful joint ET programme with Softfoot in Australia.  Sired by Alpacaspecialist Sharman and out of renowned Lee Carrow Seventh Heaven, exceptional traits resulted from this prepotent combination of genetics.

Trinity has excellent uniformity in micron across his blanket with consistent style throughout.  His extremely dense fleece is evident by the highly aligned staples.  He is pumping out the fleece and is passing these qualities onto his progeny.

With colour in his background, he has produced both light fawn and fawn progeny to date.

Along with his big boned, true to type frame and desirable fleece traits, Trinity has a very easy going nature, another trait evident in his progeny.

Awesome experience being able to sit down and have alpaca cuddles in the paddock and even hand feed them!! 10/10 would reccomend to anyone 😁”

  • “Even though it’s only an hour, you get maximum quality time with the alpacas. The staff are friendly and can’t wait to share their knowledge with you. Cuddling takes timing and patience, but when you finally get to hug one of these fluffy guys, it’s the best feeling. Would go again.”

  • “This was a very memorable experience we had. The farm offers fun tours where you can get close-up with their friendly and fluffy alpacas, you can cuddle them, feed them and take beautiful photos and videos. Moreover one of the most unique places because of the amazing breathtaking views of Banks Peninsula, enjoying the beautiful scenery and fresh air, is a truly unique experience you won't forget.”
