Tahara Suri Alpaca Stud

Tahara has settled into “Chantlan Park”, 400 Chanters Lane, Fern Hill Victoria. Fern Hill is about 8 minutes out of Woodend. E-mail and web addresses remain the same. The phone number is now 03 5424 8178.

Tahara is run by Dianne Marshall with a hand being lent, when necessary, by her husband John.

Tahara has chosen to concentrate on the Suri Alpaca. Our first alpacas were purchased whilst we were living in Berry NSW. We then moved to the drier climes of Goulburn NSW and proceeded to experience years of drought which I understand they are still having. Fortunately having now moved to Victoria we have experienced an Autumn break and have more pasture than most of my alpacas have seen in their lifetime.

Tahara Chimu—has been used over our coloured girls and also has his first cria available for viewing
