Herd for sale.

Today I updated the listing on Alpaca Nation to include the 4 new babies- the entire herd is for sale and the babies go with moms at no additional cost until weaning. We are not breeding this fall but of course we will breed any female to whichever of our males you want if you purchase her.

See the listings on alpacanation.com

The entire herd of alpacas, 9 females(8 probably pregnant) and 2 studs is now for sale and the farm is available although I will not list it with a realtor until next spring. Farm and herd could go as a package if someone is interested.  If you are interested in all or a portion of these animals, please fill out our contact form (we NEVER sell or give away any of your contact information).

Louet updates

Louet has discontinued Riverstone and also dyed corriedale roving. I still have a few skeins of the Riverstone – email me (sales@alpacafleece.com) if you need some and I will see if I still have your color. Yarn Girls(DBNY) is the company Louet sent all they had left of both of these items to. You may also be able to obtain some there if you need to finish a project. I do have other wool yarns that felt well so if you are starting a new felting project, consider Kraemer and Brown Sheep yarns. Jean
