Re: [AlpacaTalk] Need help buying alpacas
Carla,
I still believe that there is more value in buying registered alpacas than
unregistered alpacas. You would be able to show and participate in 4-H and
fleece shows with your registered alpacas. There are many affordable alpaca
deals out there. Go visit the animals and buy the ones that appeal to you
from people you feel comfortable working with. The person you buy from
should be a person you would feel comfortable calling at anytime. It would
be better to buy 3 that you LOVE than 6 that are "just okay" in my humble
opinion.

Subject: [AlpacaTalk] Need help buying alpacas
Hello.
I'm having mixed feelings and need help from experienced alpaca
owners. I had wanted to start a therapy farm.but after getting sick
and now dealing with the possibility of loosing my eye sight, and
joint problems..I know there is now way I could travel with these
beautiful animals.. I also know there is no way I can live without
them!
Wed the 19th is my 50th B-day :O), also my husbands B-day too! My
husband is so loving he has asked me if I would like to purchase 4-6
for the love of them and for maybe 4H on our 1 acre land with his
help.
I found an alpaca farm that has too many females and has a wonderful
deal ..Females listed less than 3,000, 18 months financing and will
board them for free until next April 2009.
I have also looked on line and found many males and females that are
not registered for A LOT less than 1,000.
So. what would be better.after reading the post on AOBA, and the
economy that I believe will take years to recover.what is best to
buy? I know that any cria born unregistered would be difficult to
sell..or I believe it would.maybe not to a 4H farm?
I REALLY wanted to show one; even when I was going for the therapy
program.but without Reg I know I cannot.if they are to be pets will
it really matter if I just want the fiber?
So confused anyone has this problem or knows of simple answer?
Thank you in advance
I hope it is ok I also posted this on another site for help
