Amazing Alpacas home page

Access to Alpacas™ is an initiative designed to enable anyone to become involved in owning and breeding alpacas for pleasure or business.  You don’t need any land or experience in alpaca husbandry.  You select a quality pregnant alpaca from our herd and she then stays here on our farm for as long as you wish.  She’s your alpaca, you make all the decisions about her and we look after her on your behalf.  You can visit her as often as you like, but to help us we ask you to do so by appointment please.

By way of example, for an investment of around £6,500 plus vat, you could purchase one quality pregnant female, have her stay with us at Amazing Alpacas for a whole year on an agistment basis and delight in welcoming her cria to the world when it is born.  We then arrange for her to be re-bred to repeat the cycle again. There you have it -a simple lower cost entry into the world of alpacas.

Through our Access to Alpacas™ initiative and for an all inclusive outlay, we will -

  • Supply a quality pregnant alpaca.

  • Have her examined by our vet and covered for a full year’s mortality risk with Armitage Livestock Insurance.

  • Arrange for you to become a member of the British Alpaca Society and have your alpaca registered in your name with them.

  • Pay for her feed and all routine husbandry at Amazing Alpacas for twelve months.

  • When born, have the cria examined by our vet, insured with Armitage and registered with the British Alpaca Society.

  • Re-breed her to quality male from a pool of studs from Classical MileEnd Alpacas.

Following the birth of your cria, you have a number of options –

  • Hold on to the dam and her cria as the foundation stock of your new herd.  They can stay with us on an agistment basis for as long as you wish.

  • Sell the cria to us.  We offer guaranteed prices for a healthy cria at weaning.  The dam can then complete her gestation with us on an agistment basis.

  • Sell the dam and her cria at foot, sell the cria at weaning, or keep the cria and sell the dam.  We will advertise and market your animals for you, taking a commission only on a successful sale. 

Our Access to Alpacas™ initiative gives everyone the opportunity to own and breed these fabulous animals.  Contact us if you would like to find out more about this programme and how we can help you.
