Windsong Valley Taya is a magnificent, well grown, strong boned, solid conformed female with excellent fleece character. Her fleece is consistent throughout her frame displaying a bright lustre, well defined crimp, with length and density.  This is a chance in a life time to purchase a top Windsong Valley line, from pre- potent parents, with a solid genetic base and own a delightful female from a family of multiple show winners.

Kosiosko has won numerous Championships & a Supreme Championship including the progeny class at the AAA National Show in 2007 & at Melbourne Royal 2007. Anushka Taya’s dam at 8 years old is only 22 micron, 3.7 sd, 16,7 cv 97.7 cf, and 20.8 spinning fineness.

Taya is joined to the infamous multiple National Champion Windsong Valley Iceman.

Viviana is exceptional with an extraordinary fleece type that is so sought after. She displays a bright lustrous well nourished, well defined crimpy fleece, with good length. It is ultra-fine, dense, soft handling in thin staples bundling consistently across her body. She is highly regarded within our herd. 

Within the last six months of the current show season she has won three Junior Championships, one Reserve Championship and one third ribbon (must have been a bad hair day).

Her mother Honeycomb is 18.1 (2007) micron at 4 1/2 years old.

 Her sire Windsong Valley Iceman is twice AAA National Champion and thrice renowned AAA National Fleece Champion. He is genetically sound and pre-potent from the Highlander line.

OPEN DAY 2004

The 'Queens Birthday Weekend' Open Day was again held in 2004. Although it was wet and bitterly cold day the wealth of attendees was testament to the ever growing interest in Alpacas and the Alpaca industry. Gary Simpson again to spoke to a captivated crowd on the day. This year his subject of great interest was "Commercial Merino Flock Breeding" (it is available in our Education section). Also on hand during the day was Milton Dyer spoke about "Alpaca nutrition and the advantages of using Nutrimol". The sample provided by Milton to all the breeders that attended was greatly appreciated. The lively debate that followed each of the speakers relating to industry imperatives was also very interesting. Thank you to everyone that braved the cold and rain and helped make the day another memorable event. We look forward to seeing you again at our next open day.

OPEN DAY 2003

Open Day 2003 was again held over the Queen’s Birthday long weekend. Gary Simpson was on hand to present his paper on "Marketing Premium Wool" (available in our Education section).

Thank you everyone that participated in making the day a success.
