Alpaca breeders came from right across Australia to the Breeders Choice Alpaca Auction at the Goulburn Showgrounds this month.
The seventh annual BCAA event hosted 25 studs from Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales, which presented 73 alpacas for auction.
Although 20 lots were passed in, the 53 lots sold averaged $2881 a head.
Prices did not reach record levels but Landmark Echuca agent Wilson described the result as a "very solid sale with good quality animals".
There were more than 50 registered buyers at the auction and Mr Beer said all were seeking elite breeding stock.
One vendor, EP Cambridge Alpaca Stud, which lays claim to being Australia's largest pedigree herd and a true international stud with operations in Europe and USA, sold two market topping pens.
Topping the sale was EP Cambridge Voyager, a two-year-old dark fawn male with a 16.2 micron, 100 per cent comfort factor fleece purchased by the Yaringa & Kobler Studs of Yankalilla, SA, for $34,000.
EP Cambridge Voyager took out supreme medium/dark fawn fleece at the 2018 nationals.
EP Cambridge of Oakbank, SA, also received the second-highest price of the day for a two-year-old white female with a 17 micron fleece, EP Cambridge Enlightened, which sold for $10,000 to Non Sibi Holdings of Hindmarsh Tiers, SA.
EP Cambridge averaged $7417 for its six females.
Other strong results included the sale of two females to a top of $8500 by Patagonia Stud of Meadow Flat, NSW, to the Goldleaf Stud, Torbay, WA, and averaging $7625.
This sale was conducted by Landmark with Tim Woodham as auctioneer.
