The home of the WestWool Alpaca herd is located in the rural community of Errington, in central Vancouver Island, B.C. Canada. The farm lies in the valley beneath majestic Mt. Arrowsmith.

The farm is over 150 acres in size and is comprised of pastures and natural woodlands. A temperate climate provides year-round grazing.

WestWool has been greatly influenced by the breeding practices of Don Julio Berreda, the world-renowned alpaca breeder from the Accoyo Ranch in Peru. In the past we have concentrated on using Accoyo herdsires because we believe in the pre-potency of these males. In the last number of years we have started to incorporate other males into the breeding program especially males who originated from the Rural Allianza Co-Op in Peru. Our main goal here is to increase fineness in our fleeces. See herd sires.

Our herd is approximately one hundred strong, and growing.

The WestWool Alpaca herd is owned and operated by veterinarian, Dr. Michael Anthony, who has been actively involved in the Alpaca industry for over ten years. His hands-on daily involvement insures the quality breeding and husbandry required in producing outstanding offspring. Our goal is to breed the finest Alpacas with strong Accoyo bloodlines.
