Our herd
It’s in the Genes!
Power - Beauty - Soul - Grace and Genes.
When we decided to breed alpacas three years ago we made a conscious decision to purchase elite genetics. We were fortunate that our core herd originated from some of the very best animals available. The purchase of high quality female alpacas which had already produced award-winning offspring guaranteed an excellent foundation from which we could continue to develop the herd. Combining this with a champion herd sire has produced high quality animals. We are now at the point when we are able to offer some of these superb animals for sale.
Stud Males
EP Cambridge Samson
Huacaya Solid White
Sire: EP Cambridge Peruvian Spartacus
Dam: Jolimont Amatea (Aust).
EP Cambridge Samson was imported from Australia. He was bred by EP Cambridge Alpaca stud in August 2005-2022. We are very fortunate to be able to maintain his genetics.
EP Cambridge Samson’s genetics were sourced from Australia’s Elite ancestor, his sire was EP Cambridge Peruvian Spartacus, seen at the time to be the new number one prized Herdsire available in Australia.
EP Cambridge Samson was awarded reserve Champion Intermediate in Adelaide in 2006 and, after his arrival in the UK and only one show, he was awarded Champion white male and subsequently the Supreme Champion award in 2008.
His fleece is solid white and uniform in colour. The crimp is high in amplitude with a medium frequency. The staples are all highly aligned and very well organised and the character of the fleece is beautiful.
EP Cambridge Samson continues to make a huge contribution to the future of our herd at Lacock Alpaca with the birth of superior cria. His offspring are all solid white, his brightness and bold crimp are replicated in his progeny.
His offspring would be an excellent choice for anyone who is considering adding crimp and brightness into their herd.
Classical MileEnd Sarabande
Born August 2013
Huacaya: Solid Mid fawn
Sire: LMFI Peruvian Dynamics of CME (IMP) Soild white
Dam: CME Rhea Solid Mid Fawn
Born in August 2013, Sarabande introduces a new genetic line to LACOCKALPACA. He was put to stud in 2017 and his first cria have exquisite soft silky dense fleece. Following our carefully considered breeding programme, we are expecting to see more of his cria this season. We look to a fine silky but dense fibre with weight and fine crimp.
Sarabande’s awards in the year before he came to us speak for themselves. To top it all he is gentle and biddable. A real charmer.

Wellground Back with a Bang
Born April 2015
Huacaya, Solid White
Sire: Cambridge Buckingham
Dam: EP Cambridge Jewel
Back with a Bang's Sire was imported from Australia. Cambridge Buckingham’s genetics were sourced from two of the finest elite ancestors: Jolimont Commisario, and Cambridge Trinity who was sired by NWA Ltd Ruffo. Bang Bang has exceptional dense bright fleece. The staple length displays a medium amplitude, high frequency crimp. The fibres are highly aligned and well organized. He is ideally suited as a finishing male for high quality white and light fawn females. He will be put to stud this breeding season and we look forward to his first cria in 2019.
