1. Crystal and Lena are mother-daughter and are still very bonded. I would like to keep them together. Lena is just about 2 years old and ready to breed for the first time. Crystal is an older girl but probably still has a cria or two left in her. The handle of her fleece and low amount of guard hair are better than many alpacas half her age and she passes nice fiber characteristics on to her offspring. Buy Lena and I'll include Crystal for free to keep them together.
2. Additional 25% discount on any alpacas you purchase that you can move from my ranch to yours quickly enough that they will be shorn at your ranch. My shearing day is May 15.
NOTE: There is also some used equipment available on the Moving Sale page [ click here ] including feeders, gates and no-climb fencing.
Support and education of customers and involvement in the growth of the U.S. alpaca industry have always been priorities for me. I have presented/hosted workshops at my ranch many times including Introduction to Alpaca Ranching and Neonatal Clinics, I have been an invited speaker talking about alpacas and alpaca fiber, and I have been one of the organizers of the annual UC Davis Camelid Symposium since 2007. I was on the Calpaca Board of Directors for 4 years, am on the BOD of a local alpaca association, am an ARI appointee to the Government and Industry Relations Committee, and I volunteer in other ways in the alpaca industry.
Why am I saying all of this? To let you know that I am committed to alpacas and the alpaca industry .I have decided it is time to move to a smaller piece of property, significantly reduce my herd size, and simplify my life. I'm ready to have an alpaca ranch that I can manage and maintain by myself without depending on hired help. I will still have alpacas (I can't imagine life without them), I'll still be very much involved in the alpaca industry, and customer support will continue to be a high priority. If you are purchasing your first alpacas I will spend time with you, help you learn about alpacas and their care, help you with your ranch setup, and be available to answer questions. If you are adding to your herd I am here for support.
