RE: [AlpacaTalk] Re: Developing a market for fleece -New Zealand

Hi Mandy,

Consider yourself now "networked". I look forward to hearing from you. In
the meantime, you might like to have a look at the following alpaca
community website supporting NZ alpaca breeders/owners:

www.alpacatrader.co.nz

Everything about the site is "free". You can list your alpacas for sale,
yarn for sale, shearing services, alpaca-related products, etc. There are a
couple of sponsors paying for the facility, but otherwise it's free for you
to use, forever.

All the best,

Chuck
Auckland

Hi Chuck - thanks for your message - it really does help me to get
this perspective. I guess my questions were symptomatic of not
being fully net worked in the NZ alpaca scene - yet.

I hope you don't mind, but I will contact you privately.
Thanks
