Melbourne Royal
Alpaca Competition
It’s an alpaca party at this year’s Show, with the competition set to be a highlight during the first weekend. See amazing alpacas on Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 September in the Livestock Pavilion along with alpaca fleece on display for the entirety of the Show.
See two different breeds of alpacas: Huacaya and Suri
Since 1991, the Alpacas Competition has showcased the country’s finest Huacaya and Suri alpacas. Watch them judged on their appearance and fleece quality in two competitions running side by side.
Australia is home to the world’s second largest alpaca industry - right behind Peru - leading the way in breeding and producing luxurious alpaca fibre.
Known for its softness and warmth, alpaca fleece is crafted into beautiful garments and homewares.
