About Inca Alpaca
Tim Hey established Inca Alpaca in order to help preserve and improve coloured alpaca. This passion for black alpaca offers new owners and breeders an opportunity to obtain high quality bloodstock in order to join in the quest.
The last one hundred and fifty years have seen the majority of alpaca breeders in Peru selectively breed towards white and fawn causing the numbers of black alpacas to fall to a very low level and the quality of the fibre stand still. Breeding high quality coloured alpacas in particular black is a challenge that we have taken up and are passionate about. Through the use of careful breeding decisions and strategies developed in Australia we strive to breed black alpaca to the quality now seen in the best white stock.
Recently Tim's family have exported many of their black alpacas to England to form the core of Inca Alpaca. Also a small group of investors has allowed Inca Alpaca to import extremely high quality black bloodstock form Australia. These imported females have formed the top end of Inca Alpaca's plantel herd.
Inca Alpaca takes great pride in offering clients support and advice from 25 years alpaca farming experience in Australia and the UK. We have taken great care in the selection of our bloodstock to ensure strong uniform genetic lines that will impart desirable characteristics to the progeny. This in turn will ensure our long-term success and that of my clients through minimising breeding risks and developing the sale of high priced bloodstock and fibre domestically and into the ever growing European market.
Goals
I have a vision that is shared by many breeders of black alpacas around the world. That vision is to one day breed and maintain a herd of black huacaya and suri alpacas that clip a fleece to the same weight and quality equal to the best white alpacas now found in the UK. By learning from the research and experience in the merino, angora and alpaca industry in Australia and North America I can reduce incorrect breeding decisions and begin to understand the link between nutrition, physiology and fibre. My own experience tells me that my goal is obtainable if I apply all that I have learnt and use males that consistently produce uniform progeny that carry the traits I desire and use newly developed breeding strategies that that are proven to improve the herd?s clip in leaps and bounds while keeping the black colour.
About Tim Hey
I grew up on an Alpaca farm in Tasmania Australia and was involved with many aspects of my families? herd called Van Diemen Alpacas. At the age of 18 I attended the University of Tasmania and graduated three years later with a science degree in Aquaculture. I then worked in a technical and scientific role for the largest Atlantic salmon producer in Australia, while still being heavily involved with the parents? herd and the Tasmanian region of the Australian Alpaca Association. A position with Alpacas of Wessex temped me to England where have enjoyed working with excellent stock and a professional team. At Alpacas of Wessex I still enjoy being part of the team and working with them to take the alpaca industry forward. I have been to Peru and Australia many times on behalf of Alpacas of Wessex, ABQ Alpacas and Inca Alpaca selecting alpaca for import into Europe. I had the privilege of selecting with a team of professionals including Geoff Scott, Monyka Portecarrero and John Gaye where we have selected some of the top alpacas ever to enter Europe. These alpacas included Wessex Rural Alianza Wiracocha, Wessex Adonica and Wessex Rural Alianza Don Pepe.

Seed Stock Arrives From Australia
Our stud stock from Australia finally arrived from Australia last weekend ending a nervous wait. This selection has been a culmination of twelve months works by www.stanfordlivestock.com and of course us here at Inca Alpaca.
The females were selected using stringent criteria based on our knowledge of the quality of the best black huacayas in Australia in 2005. We needed to increase our number of females that had strong frames, great fineness in the fleece while also carrying the other fibre characteristics that are found in good quality whites. We need females in the UK that will breed exceptional cria every time and with great uniformity.
This import is very exciting for us because it carries some of the best black genetics found and proven in Australia to date. This group of females are totally unrelated to 99 percent of black huacayas in Europe, giving us potential to use males born from these females and improve the industry.
Nine of these girls have retained their pregnancy to Cedar House Amar, a Champion Black sire bred by Cedar Huse Alpaca Stud now residing in NZ with Sherlin Alpacas. This genetic imput by Amar will help secure Inca Alpaca's future in the industry and push our productivity of black fibre forward.
Inspection of these females and all the stock at Inca Alpaca is most welcome.

Details of Importing:
Yes Alpacas from Australia and New Zealand
Inca Alpaca was founded mainly on stock selected and imported from Australia and New Zealand. This was due to the huge advancements in alpaca that these two countries have made in the last 20 years. Both countries recognise the value in alpaca and have applied and adapted the techniques and breeding strategies used in their long standing merino wool industry to create the best stock in the world.
A breeder in the Europe can purchase stock that is very uniform in many characteristics including pedigree colour. This uniformity, sound conformation and advanced fleece characteristics enables breeders to grow and breed alpacas that are more likely to be predictable in the progeny they produce and therefore minimising the risks of poor outcomes and increasing the chances of long term success.
We have carried out many selections in Australia and New Zealand on behalf of our clients and for Inca Alpaca. Our experience in selecting and importing alpacas from these countries is extensive and proven. We offer clients an opportunity to have first class huacaya and/or suri stock selected with you or on your behalf and then imported to your farm. Our selection process is very comprehensive with full stock evaluations, pictures and fibre readings available to you before a purchase is made.
Being Australian Tim has kept very close, trusting and long standing relationships with some of the leading breeders in Australia and New Zealand. This helps to ensure that we access and export some of the very best stock, including champions, that would not be available on the domestic market due to competition. Please don’t hesitate to contact us to find out about our next import and to ask for a no obligation discussion and quotation.
Alpacas from South America
Inca Alpaca was not entirely founded by Australian and New Zealand stock. Some of the very best females standing with us have come from South America.
The Chilean alpaca industry has gone through some major changes in the last ten years. The development of co-operatives amongst some farmers has meant that for the first time many alpacas are being properly selected and bred for conformation and advanced fleece types. This is a far cry from the days when lower quality alpacas were first imported into the UK from Chile. There are protocols in place with short quarantine times for the export of alpacas from Chile to the EU. Correct commercial aircraft makes small (15) and large (up to 800) imports from Chile both affordable and beneficial for those breeders looking for white and especially coloured alpacas.
Peru offers breeders here in the EU an opportunity to purchase large amount of high quality and uniform alpacas at one time. Together with ABQ Alpacas and Alpacas of Wessex we have developed strong relationships with many of the leading breeders and show winners in Peru, including Koricancha and Rural Alianza EPS. The protocol and selection process for Peru is slightly more complicated as the stock being imported need to be in residence in a third country for six months before entering the EU.
Our colleague Geoff Scott of ABQ Alpacas and Alpacas International has made our imports from South America possible. Geoff is a New Zealander living in Santiago who for many years has and still does farm alpacas. He has built up very strong relationships with government, breeders and shipping agents enabling our selections and exports to run very smoothly and efficiently.
