[AlpacaTalk] Huacaya trade

 

Hello everyone! I have some nice huacayas available for sale or to trade for full Bolivians. I prefer black and grey, but will consider any color. 

Someone asked why I wanted to trade a full Peruvian female for a Bolivian, and it's because I am Bolivian crazy. I just love them, and I would like to preserve the "full Bolivian" as much as one person can, with a  small farm and limited funds.

Amadala: Dark fawn, full Peruvian. 3 years old. Sire is dark maroon Benchmark's Peruvian El Capitan, blue ribbon winner at MIAF. Bred to a gorgeous white Ivano grandson. Her first cria, Maharaja has really great crimpy fleece with amazing staple length.
$7500

Maharaja: dark fawn, full Peruvian. Super silky fleece. 82 lbs at 6 months. He's just about as big as the yearlings. His sire's fleece tested at 21µ at 5 years. Very good bloodlines. Really nice boy. Fleece is looking very nice.
$3000  And if you're interested, really do act fast. His fleece is great even soaking wet. Amazing crimp in a wet fleece!

Sienna Illusion, tested at 20.8µ at 4 years, with amazing zipper crimp. He has three cria on the ground so far, two maroon boys and one true black girl. One more cria due this spring. He has one blue ribbon for fleece at Estes Park, and one red ribbon, high scoring fleece in his class. We missed 1st place by 1/2 a point, and the judge's comment was better skirting would have raised the score. 
He's available for breeding services and is tentatively for sale, but I do think I have his price way too low. 
$5000 cash.

[AlpacaTalk] Dominate Your Local Market

 

Search engines are now putting more emphasis on the display of
results local to the searcher, so it is more important than ever that
you have your own highly optimized website if you don’t want to
lose out to your competition.

Not only should you appear in the search result pages, but you should
also show up in the ‘local business’ results map at the top of the page.
Most people searching don’t go past the 5 to 7 farms listed there.
They certainly won’t be clicking through to the large national
cooperative sites if they want to buy locally.

Ask for details on how to attract more visitors…and convert them to
buying prospects, and get prepared for a successful 2010.
