Fibre Alpacas For SaleWe are SOLD out of Fibre Boys for 2010 but do have one fibre girl available for sale to a qualified home. Check availability for fibre boys this fall 2011. For our complete Sales List CLICK HERE
At SWA, we prefer to call our "pet" stock "fibre" animals as these animals are more then pets, they are fibre producing animals and need to be sheared each year. They are not lawn ornaments, or pretty pasture relics, they are a luxurious fleece baring creature who's fibre characteristics are soft, hypo allergenic, luxurious and very thermal. This heavy fleece could be detrimental to them in the summer time and if this fleece is not removed from their bodies, our warm Canadian summers could be detrimental to the alpaca.
Fibre animals are usually males that do not fit our breeding criteria. For this reason only, these males will be gelded (castrated) and sold for a lower price then breeding stock. Quality of the fibre animal and availability will alter the cost of fibre animals depending on the farm. In Ontario, fibre animals cost anywhere between $800-$1,500.00 per animal, and most breeders should insist on having two buddies go together, unless you own already an alpaca or at least a llama. Another reason why
 SWA sticks to the label "Fibre" animals instead of "Pet" stock, as we personally feel that these animals are also crucial to the industry, as you can utilize their fibre to off set the cost of their up keep.
We do have fibre animals for sale on occasion, so please check with us by contacting Nancy.
At present time we have 2 fibre boys for sale.
Fibre animals will only be sold as individuals IF the purchaser has another suitable companion animal for one of SWA's fibre animals. Alpacas are herd animals and require a buddy. If you do not have another suitable animal, you will be required to purchase two alpacas. Our fibre animals come with gelding contracts, their own halters and are halter trained.
You will be taught proper handling techniques using the T-Team approached used by Camelid Dynamics. Nancy has trained numerous dogs in her time, and has worked hard to understand proper handling of alpacas.
She has completed the basic training of Camelid Dynamics and was invited to attended the 4 day advanced clinic in Oregon. Nancy will continue to seek out proper handling techniques of alpacas, and will always be on hand to help clients who purchase from SWA.
