 HADSTOCK N.Z.

As our Suri Herd has not sold as a unit we are now prepared to sell animals in groups. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase Supreme Champions and top stock from New Zealand's first and leading Suri Stud.

 Hadstock N.Z. prefix is certainly to the fore at shows in New Zealand and we see many Suri winning currently. One of our females 'Hadstock N.Z. Santolina' was for the second time Champion Female of the AANZ Expo and Supreme Champion at Ashburton. She was in her third fleece, having just weaned a Cria and 6 months pregnant again. Very special female and for sale as part of a package. As part of the Suri Stud for sale is also her mother and grandmother.

 Russell & Carolyn are realistic with prices for their stock and all are listed on the IAR Herd Code HNZ. If you require mating dates or fleece stats please get in touch. Check out the 2 females on this web site.    Alpaca breeding females for sale

 

THE HERD WILL BE SOLD.

6 females and 2 males left  11/1/11

 

UPDATE

Many of the HADSTOCK N.Z. Suri have sold.

Russell & Carolyn would like to thank the many breeders who have purchased Suri in the past 2 months, and wish you all every success in the future, both in the show ring and with your breeding program.

 Russell.............Has been invited to judge the first show run by the new Alpaca association ABANZ.

"It will be interesting to get exibitors response" said Russell, as "my style of judging will be different to the current format used in New Zealand to date". "I do also like to see Alpaca in show condition, although that may be difficult given the time of the year".

 Date: 11th September at Fielding.

                               HADSTOCK N.Z. SURI HERD TO BE SOLD

 

Russell & Carolyn have decided to market there Suri herd as one, along with the prefix HADSTOCK N.Z. This is the first Suri stud in New Zealand.

All trophies, Cups, Champion ribbons will go with the Herd.

Although it is difficult to confirm numbers it is expected that there will be 14 pregnant females, 4 stud males, 4 Tui, and 8 Cria. 8 of these Suri have won Supreme Champion awards.

Expressions of interest will be called for in April 2010. 

Russell & Carolyn have had good interest in the Herd, but at 20/06/10 it is still available.

It is very important that the Herd is purchased by people the Nelson's relate to, and finance will be available, if required, to the purchasers.
