My Services

As you grow your alpaca herd, having a neutral well-trained eye helping you evaluate your current and future potential, can be more valuable than the alpacas themselves.

Herd Evaluations and Breeding Strategies -  This service provides the client with a complete head to under-tail evaluation of their entire alpaca herd  or pre-selected alpacas.  Pertinent positive and negative traits will be highlighted and a formal written report will be given noting the positive and negative traits of each alpaca - conformation and fleece. Additionally, photograph's outlining these traits will be included. Breeding strategies for herd improvement can be included as well. Cost for this service is variable based on needs but is designed around an hourly fee plus any travel expenses to or from the location. It is suggested that if a smaller farm wished to engage these services, cooping with other farms in your area could help keep some of the travel related expenses down.

Private Consultations - This service provides for private consultation on a personal basis. These could include:

  • Evaluation of an alpaca(s) pre-sale to obtain the highest fair market value as seller.
  • Evaluation of an alpaca(s) objective overall view of the alpaca(s) before purchasing.
  • Evaluation of an alpaca(s) post-sale to obtain the next step in a breeding strategy.
  • Farms/Ranches that may want a complete herd evaluation plus guidance for the future of their entire breeding program with a strategy and formulated program to help them achieve this.

These services will be billed hourly and will include all expenses related to travel. Day rate may apply.
