Re: [AlpacaTalk] Acero Marka

 

I've conversed quite a bit with Jeanne of Gemstone. It's funny, there are a few farms that are concentrating in black, dark, and grey Bolivian huacayas. :) Kinda like family.


By the way. my full Bolivian black yearling boy won 1st place in a class of 4 at fleece under Amy Bliss-Miller at AlpacaMania last weekend. 19.4 micron black. I'm pretty proud. I'm expecting a full sib next summer, and needless to say. I'll be repeating that breeding exclusively as long as the dam is producing.

So either huacaya breeders really like their full Bolivians and don't sell them, or there was a much higher percentage of Bolivian suris imported. Or, suri breeders bred/breed Bolivians to Bolivians more so than huacaya breeders.

[AlpacaTalk] Need to move these 3 girls...

 

I have three proven, breeding, part to all peruvian, registered female alpacas for sale. Two have crias at their side that can come along in a package deal. One is due this year yet!!

My husband is working more hours than ever and I am the day to day caretaker. I really need to move these girls before winter!!

R&RR Sprite 041L (Sprite) is a lovely 8 year old girl with a sweet disposition. She is half Peruvian and half Chilean with a dense, shiny, white and wonderful conformation. She must be herded, but stands when caught and "hugged."

R&RR Genaca Frosti 02P (Genaca) is a five year old who easily throws beautiful crias who tend to be white. She is ¼ Peruvian and ¾ Chilean. Her fleece is very soft and shiny and she is halter trained.

SWD Peruvian Pasha is halter trained and leads well. She seven years old and easily has healthy crias with lots of milk. She is full Peruvian and has a very long stapled, bright fleece.

Sprite and Geneca each have a female cria at their side and crias can be added with the mom.

Package posibilities are limitless! Call or email us with any offers!

[AlpacaTalk] Are you serious about selling alpacas?

 

It’s clear from the number of people advertising alpacas for
sale here that marketing them is getting more competitive
and the current economy is keeping most prices significantly
lower than a couple of years ago.

People are needing to sell, but don’t take the most important
step of all – having their own website and actively promoting
it.  

In building a successful alpaca (or any other business) having
a dedicated website is essential.  All of your promotion should
be aimed at getting traffic to that site, and collecting details
from your visitors so that you can follow up with them and
build a relationship over time.  Making use of social networking
is also becoming more important in getting visitors to your
site.

If people are not pro-active in promoting their farms on the
Internet, they are missing out on the largest sector of the
market – over 90% of alpaca buyers start their research online,
and if your website doesn’t show up in searches, they won’t
find you.

Relying on third party sites is not good enough – you are
competing with hundreds of other farms and any work you do
to generate traffic only drives your visitors there to share them
with everyone else.  That creates a commodity market – you
don’t have the opportunity to differentiate you and your farm
from the rest, so the buying decision will be made primarily on
price.

Try a search on the Internet for alpacas in your area and see
if your farm shows up well – if not, maybe it’s time to think
about how you can feature on the first page of Google (only
15% of searchers look past the top ten search results).

If you would like a free review of your site’s effectiveness
and ideas on how to improve it, or information on having
a professional website designed for you, email me for details.

It seems that there are more full Bolivian suris out there, than huacayas. Is it my imagination? Did the suri breeders keep "pure" COO lines more than huacaya breeders?
