Stud Service Terms and Conditions

Fowberry Alpacas will endeavour to provide the very best care for your alpacas visiting our stud males. Visiting females are housed in their own paddock with a quiet, caring environment. Their care includes all feed (Camelibra), any routine husbandry and a comprehensive handover report on departure. The stud service fee includes 10 weeks agistment (or 8 weeks from the date of a successful mating) and ultrasound scan to confirm pregnancy before departure. Females staying in excess of this may be charged extra weekly agistment. All veterinary costs will be met by the owner, whom we shall attempt to inform immediately, should any health problems arise. In the unlikely event that females leave us after 10 weeks not pregnant, only agistment charges (£8+VAT per week) and veterinary costs (if any) will apply. All fees are payable prior to alpacas returning home. We will expect clients to fully investigate with their vet any females that do not hold a pregnancy following their third "Drive By" visit, or authorise us to do likewise after three unsuccessful "On Farm" matings. At Fowberry Alpacas, we pay particular attention to our males' grazing and nutrition to ensure correct condition and mineral balance for optimum fertility, and their enviable "strike rate" demonstrates this.

All females for "On Farm" matings (BLUE PRICES) or for "Drive By" mating (GREEN PRICES) must be healthy, in the correct condition for conceiving and carrying minimal fleece growth. We will require satisfactory written confirmation that they have not been in contact with any livestock with, or on a holding that has or has had, within the preceeding six months, any known health risks (e.g. bTB, BVD, Eimeria Macusaniensis, mange). We reserve the right not to accept Maiden Females for mating if more than 21 months old on arrival.

We will in ALL cases, and in advance, fully liaise with Clients/prospective Clients regarding visiting females already present here, their origins, health and risk to any arriving females and vice versa for those females already here. Where possible we will try to offer your females for "On Farm" matings, an isolation paddock specifically for their sole use, separated by 4 metre raceways from other Alpacas. We cannot guarantee that a field shelter will be available in every visiting females' paddock, so we would counsel against very early and very late season "On Farm" matings, or very young crias accompanying females.

Fowberry Alpacas guarantee a live cria on the ground (24 hrs) or a free return to service. This guarantee applies only to the owner of the female at the time of mating and is not transferable to another female or owner. The live cria guarantee will be honoured after a post mortem certificate signed by a veterinarian confirms that the loss was not due to avoidable causes. Free return and live cria guarantees cannot be honoured due to the death of the female.

As all visiting alpacas are entirely at their owners' risk, fully insuring each animal is advised. Payment is due strictly by/on the day of mating for "Drive By" matings, and prior to the return of females for "On Farm" matings, unless separate written arrangements have been made with us in advance. On advance group bookings, full payment is due before the half way point in the matings is reached unless separate written arrangements have been made with us in advance.

Because of current biosecurity issues in England, initial enquiries for Stud Services should please include your CPH (Holding) number or your PTI (Parish Testing Interval) available from RPA and DEFRA respectively.

A signed Mating Contract from clients not known to us, and female's breeding/recent veterinary history to include current endoparasite and ectoparasite control regimes and vaccination programmes is required in advance, along with satisfactory answers to reasonable enquiries regarding health and biosecurity before we will accept females for mating. 

For a copy of our contract please contact us.
