Description
Rio is a two year old male, we have just let him mate his first female (May 23) and he is keen! Two females mated by him have now scanned pregnant. He is a true appaloosa, with a multitude of bold large spots on his back. He has an appaloosa sire and dam, so perhaps he is that elusive 'double spot' genetics that should produce spots with every mating (genetic test not yet available). He will come with a fertility guarantee. He is very well halter trained and walks really well.
Mullacott Alpacas is a farm with high welfare and biosecurity standards. All alpacas are individually faecal tested every three months and only given appropriate treatment for any gut parasites if necessary. The whole herd is currently vaccinated with Bravoxin10, with six monthly boosters. A voluntary bTB test is carried out on every alpaca in the herd, annually. All deaths (over around 3 months of age) are subject of post mortem, to check for any undiagnosed health conditions.
We take bio-security very seriously, with all incoming alpacas thoroughly treated for any gut parasites, before moving onto the farm and then faecal tested on arrival and before leaving quarantine. Pre-movement tests are carried out for bTB and Johne’s Disease (We have never had either disease diagnosed on the farm). All incoming alpacas are kept in quarantine for 4 weeks before joining the main herd.
We are willing to conduct any pre-movement tests/parasite treatments that you request.
