Shaka, our full Peruvian True Black herdsire, is a true gentleman. He is a beautiful boy; very large with lustrous and dense black locks. Shaka is easy to handle - he stood patiently with me through a thirty minute interview a couple of months ago, allowing me to stroke his neck while answering numerous questions about our farm. His temperament is one that you’ll want to pass on to your farm. He has already produced four cria in Kentucky - all black or black and white pattern. Right now we are offering an introductory breeding fee for only $1500.oo. Shaka’s first breeding season in the state of Florida will begin November 30. Reserve a breeding this season and import some true black Peruvian genes to your farm at an outstanding price.
Our first National Alpaca Farm Day open house happened a few weeks ago on September 27, 2008. It was a wonderful experience! Our local newspaper gave us some unexpected coverage - a great story with several pictures featuring the three participating farms in Polk County. We had around 70 people visit our farm during the open house.
The barn was spic and span, and the animals were on their best behavior. We had several alpaca products displayed down the central aisle of the barn. The most popular product was the 100% alpaca gloves and the small stuffed toy alpacas. Next year we’ll know to stock many more of these items!
The animals crowded up to the stall fences to receive treats from our guests. Several small children went in among the alpacas, happily feeding them out of their hands. I talked about alpacas and the joys of raising them for seven hours! Our guests seemed to thoroughly enjoy stroking the alpacas that came up to the fence and hearing all about our little herd. Four visiting families were seriously interested in raising alpacas themselves.
Any of our Farm Day visitors are encouraged to call and arrange another visit in which we can spend more time telling you the ins and outs of raising alpacas on your own farm. Steve and I would love to sit down with you and show you how to get started, and discuss starter herd choices. We are offering several attractive package deals with financing options and free boarding for up to six months.
We could not have been more pleased with the wonderful day that we had showing off our farm and our wonderful alpacas!
What a beauty!
