EXPERIENCE:
We have been doing business in the United States for 11+ years and have extensive experience in raising alpacas in South America as well. We have been involved in some very unique and challenging alpaca experiences including the successful importation of the first alpacas to Asia and the export/import of alpacas from Chile to the United States. In both cases, we carried out every aspect of the projects ourselves, including development of the government protocols, quarantines, transport, etc.
HEALTHY ALPACAS:
In our herd we experience...
- Excellent birth rates
- High fertility rates
- Rare dystocias - we usually do not assist our dams with birthing
- Mothers with excellent mothering abilities and in all of our years have had only 1 dam reject her cria
- Mothers with excellent milk supply
