2 Suri Male Alpacas (Geldings) for Sale - Special Package Price: £700 (plus VAT)

Due to shortage of paddock space we are reluctantly selling these two lads. Aside from their fabulous lustrous suri fleece which makes for a sleek smooth yarn with a beautiful sheen, they are lively and prominent members of the herd. They both have strong and distinctive characters and are a delight to be around. With humans, they have the typical alpaca mixture of curiosity and reserve. Silky particularly will be cautiously interested in anyone who is interested in him. Walter is a slightly less sociable.

As a pair they will make excellent guard animals - Silky is very alert and can be depended upon to sound the alpaca 'alarm' call if a fox or other intruder animal is nearby. Neither he nor Walter has any qualms about standing up to an animal intruder and seeing it off.

Silky - 6 years, 8 months old

Silky lives up to his name with a really beautiful sheen on his coat. He knows how to show it off too - quite a sight running across the paddock with his locks streaming behind him.

Walter - 5 years, 8 months old

Walter is a very elegant alpaca, with a beautiful light fawn fleece with some subtle variation. The colour differential is not very obvious as it is so slight, and actually adds a lot of character to spun yarn
