ABOUT US
We are Kim & Katee Palin, the owners of Bruce Farm.
We got our first alpacas in 2018, at that time we knew nothing about alpacas, but fell in love with them.
The name Bruce Farm came from Kim telling me that every animal on farm will be called Bruce (if he forgets someone’s name he calls them Bruce!!!) as he knows I make a pet out of every animal.
OUR LOCATION
Our farm is located just 8km west of Balclutha township. We are located just 1 hour south of Dunedin. We are a nice easy stop on a tour of the South Island via SH1, so make sure you add us as a truly adorable destination.
ABOUT ALPACAS
Originating in South America, alpacas are very placid and social animals with their own distinct personalities.
They are gentle on the land with pads instead of hooves, and they make wonderful pets.
WHY ALPACAS
Ideal Fleece
Alpaca fleece is a versatile, warm, strong, water resistant fiber. They produce fibre that is as fine as cashmere, soft, silky and warmer and stronger than sheep's wool.
Ideal for Cross Grazing
Cross grazing of the paddocks with other livestock is effective in controlling worm numbers as cross-species are not susceptible to the worms carried by alpaca and vice versa.
Ideal for Lifestyle Blocks
Alpacas are clean and intelligent, easy keepers that are light on the land, having soft padded feet with toes rather than hooves.
