WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU BUY FROM US

 When you buy your alpacas from us you will receive expert guidance at the time plus a range of back up services  These can make all the difference between a positive start in a new and exciting field or a start that you later come to wish you had done differently:

 With your animals we supply:

1.  Animal's history – importation details if appropriate

2.  Treatment history of the animal – worming, vaccinating, mating history etc:

3.  Vet certificate of health

4.  Certificate of pregnancy (scanned positive) if appropriate

          Should the pregnancy not lead to a live birth we offer 

           (a) a replacement service by the male, 

           (b) a replacement and equivalently pregnant female (if available)

           (c)  a future similar cria of the same sex, if known.

5.  Ongoing advice by phone whenever you need it
