AFN(Aust) was set up in 2013 by a group of Alpaca breeders from around Australia spear-headed by Annette and Keate Woodgate in Victoria and Kerry and Jolyon Porter in South Australia. The group operate on a not for profit basis so that as much of the return from fleece sales as possible is paid to the grower.
As the name implies, this is a network of alpaca breeders who are working as a team to supply a raw product in a consistent and sustainable way. To help with these goals it is imperative that all breeders abide by the motto of “Breeders helping breeders” to ensure the workload of collecting and classing is not left to a few.
AFN(Aust) has collection points established in Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania. www.afna.com.au

The operation is set up as a depot shed for the purpose of lot building targeting the wider commercial market.
Unless by prior arrangement all fleece is to be delivered to depot by the grower. We expect mainline fibre to be supplied individually bagged. We only accept fleece bulk classed by prior agreement.
Alpaca Gear is a fleece collection and classing service – “promoting best practice in the journey from paddock to product”. Our focus is to promote best practice in the fleece harvesting process, by providing training in shearing and fleece collection techniques, and by offering classing and marketing options for growers to sell their clip.
Individual fleeces are accepted for classing on a consignment basis. All fleeces are micron tested and classed by a registered AWEX Wool and Alpaca Classer. When a classed line of fleece is sufficient to fill a pressed bale, that bale is then offered to market.
Fleeces may be delivered to our collection depots at Kin Kin (near Gympie), Lismore and at our classing facility at Dalveen (near Stanthorpe).
