Syke House Alpacas is the oldest established alpaca herd in the UK. Owner Pat Bentley is well known to breeders in the UK, Europe, Australia and the USA, and it as been her dogged determination to see the establishment of a British alpaca industry, coupled with more than a decade of careful development that has resulted in the present herd of more than 100 head.

If you are a landowner interested in developing carefully bred herds of alpaca for fibre production...
If agricultural diversification interests you...
If you are a smallholder or hobby farmer looking for a new venture...
If you want to farm without having to kill for profit...
Consider the alpaca - its history, merits and economics.

Visit The Alpaca Centre for all things alpaca, from a great day out to 'Spirit of the Andes' alpaca fibre fashion to prospective and existing alpaca owners' courses (additional May 2002 dates now available).

Gone are the days when potential buyers were cautioned that meaningful profit may be many years away. It is now within reach. The development stage is here. Now is the time, and the opportunity to invest, confidently, in the alpaca.
