This web site displays a range of information about the Alamo and Cudal Mohair Studs and the owner, Dr Doug Stapleton. The studs are run on the property named “Gundamain” 5km east of Cudal in central NSW.  I aim to keep you informed of current issues. New material will be added at the top of each section. I am serious about the mohair and I want to help grow the industry.

I have been distracted by work on the Mohair Australia web site and much information I might have placed on this web site has gone to www.mohair.org.au  Hope to do more work here is future.

See the 2009 sale catalogue of over 69 Angoras with performance records on the Animals for Sale page.

 Of course I want to sell animals but I also want people to understand the reality of farming Angora goats and producing mohair.

Remember these are my views. I try to provide objective comment and I welcome interaction.
