About Us

Tambo Downs is a stud directed by Kaye and Jeff McNeill. We have quality stock plus elite genetics. We have a very real belief in quality service. We expect it ourselves and we give it in return. Our company's philosophy is that this is a people industry as well as animal genetics.

Jeff and Kaye have background in physiotherapy and allied health. We have been self-employed for 30 years in physiotherapy. We moved from Melbourne 16 years ago and have enjoyed the rural lifestyle of breeding Alpacas.

Kaye and Jeff bring with them energy and determination as well a scientific background.
