[AlpacaTalk] Poll or survey of members opinion regarding some 'value added' items

 

Hello Talker's...We are attempting to access various aspects with regard to Huacaya Alapcas. I would like to present a list of these items and request you offer an opinion the value they provide a specific animal for sale. I am not placing these upon any one animal in particular, just attempting to access the relative contributive value of each component. OK, so get to it ....right?

If the animal is from a BVD negative farm?
If the animal is BVD negative tested?
If the animal is ARI registered?
If the animal is AVID chipped? Insert Destron or other chip for AVID when necessary.
If the animal is a show winner? Single, multiple, red, white, or blue?
If the animal has pedigree? I know all animals have pedigree, but what value might add or detract for various types of pedigree.
Color?
Fleece? Which characteristics adds more value? Fineness? Crimp? Density? Color?
Conformation? What characteristics add the most value? in order of value...teeth, tail, ears, back, legs....
General appearance? Teddy bear? Doberman? Stocky? Tall? Delicate?

OK and now the catchall - what did I miss? Animals port of export? Peruvian? Chilean? Bolivian?
The sellers Farm? Herd size?

We are attempting to see the market components more than the value of a specific animal. Sharing your ideas will we think benefit not just us but everyone who reads these posts. We appreciate your efforts in advance and if shyness prevents you from posting here please call us or email us privately.

Thank you, Michael
