Our farm is  in Gloucestershire where we started sourcing the herd in late 2003 with an aim  to prove that alpacas are viable, here to stay and to spread the word that they are relatively straightforward and very rewarding.  Our first 6 intrepid alpacas,  pregnant females, arrived here in 2004. All ranging from 3-7 years, different colours and soon to prove to us different temperaments. These girls taught us so much and it was they who decided the Naish family future. Soon numbers swelled, either by purchases or new arrivals.  At first we leased a stud male, and added pregnant females to the herd. Then after a couple of years invested in a stud male of our own.
        
           The whole family have taken time to bring our alpacas to the public's attention, especially at shows where we have exhibited and also assisted by being stewards and handlers for other breeders. The alpacas have always been the stars and have brought home many rosettes.

             We realised that for our breeding plan to go forward we also need to sell animals, so this meant parting with some of our babies, but we soon found like minded people who have become friends and much to our delight feel able to call on us for help and advice any time, this we are more than  happy to share for people and animals alike.

             In life things are not always as straightforward as you hope they will be, we are where we are now, thanks to the support of family, old friends and many new, good friends made along the way.
