Mum with cria at foot April 2021

Meet Mads and Madd our beautiful Huacaya mum and cria. These photos show the cria at only a couple of hours old. Mum and bubs will be available sometime at the end of April 2021. They will be offered first to our VIP members of Little Valley Farm who have attended one of our alpaca workshops.

Please note, we never sell crias. They always need to be with their mum up until weaning at around six months of age and must join a small herd of alpacas.

If you have not booked in for our alpaca workshop read more here.

Mum is 6 years old white. The cria is a male and his colouring is white belly with light fawn neck and saddle. Please note, you will need to sign an agreement that you will organise a vet to castrate the male at the appropriate age. The perfect pets for any small farm or acreage.

Price includes GST, AAA transfer fee and delivery within the Lower Hunter Valley and Central Coast. Elsewhere is possible also.

Price: $2200 and for VIP-LVF members $2000

They are growing up beautifully and it’s wonderful to see them interacting with their buddies and mums in the paddocks. Coming up in Spring 2020 we will have some mum’s and cria’s coming up for sale.

We have huacaya and suri alpacas available and do ask us about our 3 in one package which includes mum with cria at foot and re-mated to our certified and registered stud.

All our alpacas are shorn every Spring as well as vaccinated, wormed and also their nails trimmed every three months.

At Little Valley Farm, we also run alpaca workshops for new owners who are looking for more hands-on experience and knowledge about these wonderful animals. Click here to read more on our alpaca workshops.

Please note, alpacas are herd animals are need to be sold in pairs or three’s. We do not sell babies unless they have been weaned from mum which is usually after six months of age.
