Today's farm visit was from a young family that live near Williams, Oregon and have about 5 acres of land. I always enjoy showing people around the farm and talking alpacas.... They arrived at the perfect time for feeding the female alpacas so we had a fun time in the barn.

Then we walked down to the pastures and fed the alpaca boys and we made it back before the rain arrived.

Earlier in the week I thought the weather was warming up enough to maybe spray the fence lines but it was a false spring and the temperature is now back down to the mid 40's and everything that had started growing has stopped.

Which makes the forthcoming Snowmass Alpaca Auction in Phoenix Arizona a very tempting proposition. Particularly as there is a very unusual lot of alpaca studs for sale.

Lot 7 in the Snowmass alpaca sale is a 50% share in the North American Alpaca Stud plus full interest in 3 elite Snowmass males specially chosen to complement this group.

This package of 26 elite Herd Sires will be sold as one giant lot. 50% ownership in North American Alpaca Stud,100% ownership in added 3 Elite Males

Opening Bid: $950,000




North American Alpaca Stud was created by two Alpaca breeding families.

Cas-Cad Nac Farm on the East Coast and Snowmass Alpacas based on the West Coast.

Don't worry if you don't have the cash because the lucky bidder has the option to finance for up to 3 years with 30% down, OR pay in full within 30 days of the sale and receive a 10% discount on the purchase price!
