World Alpaca Expo

From Country Life, 9:35 pm on 6 December 2013

There are around 25,000 alpacas in New Zealand and Country Life this week is mingling with the best of them at the World Alpaca Expo held recently in Hamilton. Almost 500 animals were paraded in the ring, and judges were also scrutinizing hundreds of lustrous, silky samples of alpaca fibre. Alpacas are in hot demand in Europe and international visitors were snapping up some of our top animals to take home.
