Summer Alpaca Sales and Fleece Histograms
Our birthing for the year is nearly finished and a summer sales list of alpacas is being formulated to publish. These will be mostly pregnant female alpacas and after a couple of requests, some with cria at foot. These females will range from maidens to experienced mums; superfine Top Account daughters, both coloured and white and with genetics to enhance most herds in the U.K. We usually have potential stud males available for sale by our sires. However they are not advertised as such, as they will be shown on the show circuit in 2011. These young lads have such potential they will showcase the quality of their sires to best advantage. Please get in touch should you be interested in any of our superfine genetics.
Extremely pleasing histograms (SGS New Zealand) have returned from the 2010 shearing:
