Description
Opal is a sturdy female that produces voluminous fleece. Her grandfather was the prize-winning Alpha Arthur, and Opal has his characteristic strong look. Her latest cria has a fine fleece with a long staple. While our older alpacas now enjoy retirement here at Greenacres, Opal is one of the medium age alpacas that is now on offer in a group of three or four females that would make a good paddock pet group.
We have been enjoying life with our alpacas for over 15 years now. From the beginning, we have seen them as part of our farm family and their health and welfare has been our first aim.
We have carefully selected outside studs to improve our herd, so our herd has the benefit of some of the best genetics. Over the last years we have bought in studs to join our herd, with all of them having champion fathers.
We halter train all our alpacas from 6 months which, not only being enjoyable for us, makes all handling easier, prepares them for showing or for eventual walking ventures with a new owner. Protection from harsh weather, biosecurity and calm, easy alpaca handling was built into the farm design. Manure is removed from paddocks and composted; alpacas have all vaccinations and frequent observation and condition, mouth and nail checks.
If you are wondering if alpacas are right for you, please feel welcome to visit and we can share with you our over 15 years of experience. We provide free delivery for up to 100 miles. Vet certificates can be provided if required.
