[Alpacasite] Re: $205,000 Female - It's good for everyone!

Hello Sonda and List,

I thought this record was going to be for Miss Priss (who I had the
opportunity to purchase earlier this year at a fraction of her current
list). I was surprised to see it was for her dam. However, I think
it's wonderful and I hope Peruvian Misty Maiden goes on to break another
record by having at least 17 crias!

This may seem overly simplified, but in a nutshell, here it my
explanation for how this is a good thing for everyone breeding alpacas...

There is a whole lot of territory between $5,000 (estimated fire
sale/entry level price of a breedable female) and $205,000 (current
female record) and $600,000 (current male record).

Personally, I don't see a problem trying to fit in that range somewhere.

Congratulations to the sellers and buyers!
