What's new at Alpacas of Ireland
Zoe and cria,
Little Zoraster is only 1 hour old. Cria are very quickly on their feet. As herd animals whose major defence is to run away the youngsters have to get a quick start in life. These 2 are for sale as a pair.
Carob and Carobinni
Carobinni was born to Carob only 10 hours before this photo was taken. Carobinni is for sale and can be taken from her dam at weaning, when she is approximately 5 to 6 months old.
Pattie-Anne and cria at 2 days old
Pattie-Anne is one of our best females, with good conformation and a lovely fleece. She has already given us several female offspring so we are happy to offer her for sale as part of our best pair.
Fleece
As a result of all our shearing activity we have some wonderful alpaca fleece for sale, including baby alpaca which is unbelievably fine and soft – as anyone who was present would attest. It comes in white, light and dark brown and black. We are having a lot of it spun into yarn which is also available. Phone or email us if you would like some of either.
Animal Selection course
There is a lot to look for and consider when buying an alpaca. The criteria are very different to those used for other farm animals. Experienced farmers have come and made poor selections. So have people who have made uninformed purchases from elsewhere. We love to teach and show. We will show you what to look for, what are the good points and what are the less good points, why some animals are worth much more than others, even if they look relatively similar. The courses run for one day and prices are deducted from any animal purchases you make within three months of doing the course.
