Since there are just two of us, one shed, and one hundred acres, each year we must sell alpacas. Most of the time we sell the younger animals, but at times we have to sell older animals as well. We sell the same range of quality that we keep. Although we concentrate on breeding grey and black, we have two rose greys and several fawns and browns. Therefore we also may have alpacas in the brown range for sale. Please email for fleece stats and other information. Discounts are given for purchase of groups: for two animals deduct $500 from price of second; for three deduct $500 from all three.

Dam: Morning Star Elisina MG
Covering Sire: Forestglen Platinum LG

Isabelle is a neatly built, strong female who has produced vigorous, good-quality offspring. I sold her black daughters because at the time I was keeping the greys, but she has had two grey males. She is on the dark side of medium, with one spot on her neck. Her fleece is no longer fine, but was of good quality when she was younger. She is not halter-trained, but is not difficult to handle. Her last date of mating was March 30, 2008. (Photo 2008)

Cleopatra is a good-looking, athletic, large-framed female who did well in the show ring as a junior, winning three blue and two red ribbons. Her fleece is not fine, but has good handle and style for her age. She has produced two male crias, a rose grey (with smooth colour) and a solid blue-black. Her crias have have been good-looking and good-tempered. She delivered a rose-grey female cria by Forestglen Platinum on September 25. The cria's fleece is more silvery under the tips.

Sire: Coonawarra Sir Galahad MG
Dam: Morning Star Elisina MG
Covering Sire: Merungle Hot Chili RG
Price: $4000 (no GST)
Bess is a large-framed, strong female who has produced and raised her crias without difficulty. Her first and second fleeces were among the heaviest we have had from silver greys and her crias have had denser feeces than average. Her fleece is still long for her age, dense, free of hair, with a broad crimp, under 30 micron and soft. She delivered a lively female cria by Forestglen Platinum on September 18. The cria's fleece is roan on the legs, and looks likely to become roan all over. Bess has been remated to Merungle Hot Chili. (Photo October 2008)

Cria IAR 133464 Born: March 23, 2008
Covering Sire: Merungle Hot Chili RG
Price: $3,000 (no GST)
Eleanor is not smooth colour and has blue eyes, but has a perfect frame. Her 2007 fleece was medium in micron with a good CV. It has changed little from her first fleece. She is a quiet, peaceful herd member who is raising her daughter well. Nora, by Elysion Mercury, has the same pattern (silver grey under brown tips) but dark eyes. She is well-covered and her fleece seems better than her dam's. Either of these females should have some solid-coloured and grey offspring. Eleanor has been mated to Merungle Hot Chili. Should you want to buy Eleanor and Nora along with another female the $500 discount would apply to Nora as well. (Photo 2008)

Her colour has changed over time, with the pale, roan areas spreading. She has had three good-natured male crias, two solid black and the most recent a pretty fawn roan who is available with her. Her last cria had an extremely dense fleece. Her dam is by Jolimont Conquistador. LMD April 29, 2008. (Photo 2008)

We have a number of alpaca males available as livestock guards, companions, or pets. Although males inevitably get older and grow less useful fleece, we are happy to provide fleeces with them. All adults are halter-trained and should respond well to handling. The price varies according to the animal and the number purchased. Some are castrated; otherwise castration can be arranged at cost.
We have coloured alpaca fleeces available at reasonable prices (plus postage) for entire saddles. They are relatively free of vegetable matter. We both spin and can discuss what you need (in English, French or Japanese) and also help find what we do not have.
