We have a smallish breeding herd of alpacas in TB-free Suffolk. We have also noted an upturn in enquiries lately and have recently sold 7 animals, but we still have 2 groups of 3 females we would like to sell this season.
The first group (price £4900 + vat) will have babies due next year:
Shangri-la, a pure true black female, a proven breeder
Cachet, light brown, pretty and friendly, also proven breeder
Calypso, maiden female, now due to be mated
These are good quality young females, the only reason for the low price is that we need to make space for the lovely babies we have had so far this year. Price includes re-mating next year.
The second trio of females are all due to give birth over the next month, so will be for sale with babies at foot. the price will be similar to the first group, depending on whether they have girls or boys.
We offer free advice, husbandry lessons and ongoing support. Web address - www.willowmead-alpacas.co.uk

It's ok if we sell to someone who is also vat registered, because they can then claim back the vat.

Has your accountant not informed you livestock is Zero ratedYes, we registered for VAT when we started alpaca farming 10 years ago. It is useful in that we can claim back vat on costs - fencing, barn, tractor etc, but of course the downside is that we then have to charge vat on our alpacas.

It reminded us of what we were told by a former smallholder who raised goats and first actually went on a goat-keeping course to be told that billygoats were of no use and should be despatched asap. She did a bit of research and as a result kept any billygoats to eat once they reached 3 months old.

The guy who shears for me told me how he did a couple of Lamas(Brave Man) apparently you lay them on a table(How the hell you get on a table in the first place) I recommended Bute or ACPHere's an interesting point. When we went to one of the shows, we enquired about shearers for our alpacas and were given 2 names in Cornwall. One of these men has recently applied for and been granted a licence to slaughter and butcher alpacas.
