Auld Mill Alpacas

Auld Mill Alpacas All about alpacas, alpaca yarns and fleecy things, and private alpaca treks in Moray in North-East Scotland !

Auld Mill Alpacas, in Morayshire in the North East of Scotland, is one of Scotland's largest breeding herds of alpacas. We aim to breed healthy and content alpacas with excellent fleece on a sound frame. We particularly appreciate alpacas' brilliant range of colours and we are delighted to have many colours within our herd. Check out our herd and alpaca information at www.auldmillalpacas.co.uk

We offer private Alpaca Treks for over 14s - go to www.alpacadaysout.co.uk for more information

The female group is looking very relaxed today.

In the foreground is one of our senior herd members, 16 year old Campsie Lara. She’s a daughter of Charbonnel Ronnie of Campsie and Campsie Lauren. We bought Lara from the late Janet and Freddie Small of Campsie Camelids in 2011.

Lara has had six cria for us. Her fleece fineness lasted well into her teens with a 28um fleece at the age of eleven.

Particularly Scarey Cat Alert !

The boys were on tiptoes, watching the progress of a large ginger cat across the yard. Jack, Ramsey and Ruaraidh were wanting the closest look, whilst Munro and Ossian were scanning the horizon from a distance.

Jack would like us to point out that, whilst he isn’t the tallest of alpacas, Ramsey and Ruaraidh were boosting their credentials by being closer to the camera and standing on a rise !

Happy Sunday, from llama Jorge !

Jorge has great presence in our breeding males group. He definitely thinks he’s in charge although, in reality, alpaca Demarco is at the top of the tree.

Jorge is the peacekeeper in the group and he’ll generally manage to dampen down any alpaca-shaped disputes almost as soon as they flare up. A targeted hard stare from Jorge is generally enough to restore calm !

Somewhat shocked to find our most recent FB post hijacked and on someone else’s FB page !

For the avoidance of any doubt, Apache is NOT for sale !

We’re doing what we can to have this post taken down - maybe you could help by reporting the post as a scam. Thank you.

Did you know :

🦙We’re at Mosstowie, just to the west of Elgin in Moray in the NE of Scotland

🦙 All of our Alpaca Treks are private; just you and not a group

🦙 In total, you’ll be with us for about three hours; field time learning about the alpacas, feeding and handling them, taking them for a relaxed walk on the farm, and drinking coffee (or tea!) and eating Trekkers’ Cake in our cosy bothy.

🦙 You need to book in advance and you can check availability and book at www.alpacadaysout.co.uk

🦙 Our Treks are for adults only. Three hours can be too long for youngsters. And, this is not an alpaca hugging experience !

🦙 We operate from mid March until the end of October.

🦙We’re fully signed up to the The British Alpaca Society and The British Llama Society‘s Codes of Practice for Trekking.

The very lovely Fangdale Apache. He’s a six year old stud male with a fantastic pedigree including Beck Brow Crafter, Warradene St Patrick, Fowberry Nobility and Peruvian Spartacus.

He’s a Dark Rose Grey alpaca, meaning that he has black and white and brown fibres in his fleece. His two 2025 daughters here, Bella and Brèagha, share his fleece colour.

The female herd are enjoying their grass just now. We’re having a steady supply of moderate rainfall, much of it overnight, so the grass is growing well. Too well in some places !

One of the few drawbacks of alpacas’ love for dust bathing is that, when the dustbath is more damp than dust, the alpacas can undergo a bit of a temporary colour change !
