For Sale

At Big Sky Alpacas we are  happy to provide advice and information to anyone who is considering purchasing alpacas.  Owning alpacas is an ongoing learning experience, and we enjoy sharing the knowledge we have with others.  We have been breeding alpacas since 2005 but still remember how it feels to be a new breeder with a great need for support, reassurance and advice. Our assistance is ongoing for as long as it is required and might include advice on farm layout, shelter and supplementary feeding, and assistance with toenail trimming and injections.

Contact Michelle for our current Sales List to add great genetics to your herd!  A number of our females have cria due, so our sales list is under regular review.

We are pleased to offer alpacas from our herd for sale as pets, herd guards, and breeding stock.  We hate to say goodbye to any of them, but herds improve and grow by introducing new genetics, and it is a pleasure to see our alpacas going to a new herd to achieve a positive impact.  The purchase price includes full after sales support and service, as the ongoing health and happiness of our animals - and our customers - is a priority for us.

All our animals are registered on the International Alpaca Register (IAR) using the AAA's eAlpaca system, and their pedigree certificates are available.  All animals are sold with a "Paca Care Kit", which includes basic alpaca health and management information, animal husbandry notes, animal health history records and a supply of feed to transition them to their new home.

When you have a small number of animals, it isn’t economic to purchase certain items 'just in case' - we can help with this and supply the items you’ll need for your smaller herd.  Useful items: Birthing kit - most births happen without assistance, but occasionally help is needed. We can help you source the items you should have on hand for emergencies.  Halters - correctly fitting halters are an essential piece of equipment. At Big Sky we use Zephyr halters from Marty McGee of Camelidynamics in the USA, which we purchase from an Australian supplier. Zephyr halters are available in 4 sizes and a range of colours, and we can help you work out the correct sizes to order.

Do you have an unwell alpaca? Our checklist is a useful prompt of some important information to provide your vet when you make that call in an emergency situation.

Fleece and yarn available

We have fleece available from our 2023 shearing.  If you would like to purchase clean, skirted fleece from our herd, contact Michelle.   We test fleece samples from our huacaya herd (mid side sample) and can provide the fleece statistics and histogram on request.   We are proud that the average micron for our entire herd was 21.3 in 2023 (in 2020 the average was 21.6), and this includes breeding females who are over 10 years old.

We have a limited amount of light fawn (cream) 8ply yarn available in 100g skeins (see photo), which are approximately 215 metres in length.  This is available in a blend of 70% huacaya/30% suri.  Priced at $33 each, plus postage.
