New Alpaca Cria This Spring

April 24, 2013 By Katy

We’ve had twelve cria so far this Spring. Here are a few of the little cuties!

This little girl is a Magnum daughter, out of one of our best females, Fashionista.

This little guy is sporting a new Spring haircut.

This is a Magnum son out of our Archangel daughter, Guardian Angel.

Here’s another pretty Magnum daughter we just sold.

Another lovely sold beauty.

This little guy is an Avatar grandson out of a gorgeous grey mom, Mia.

Another sold boy. He looks so much like Mia’s cria! They run around together. It’s precious.

We’ve run out of room at Fairhope Alpacas so we’re having a BIG HERD REDUCTION SALE!

Check out our incredible package pricing and

Have a Happy Spring!

Our Alpaca Farm is Staying in Alabama

February 11, 2013 By Katy

New cria grazes

Yes, that’s the news. We’re not moving.

We tried to sell our farm a while back, but with the economy the way it has been – it didn’t sell. Some other things happened, and we took the farm off the market last year. After much thought and prayer, we’ve decided to stay in Alabama. We love it here. The kids have amazing schools, and Jim loves the warmer climate. It’s hard being far from Jim’s kids, that part is rough. And we have more alpacas now than our farm can comfortably house because we were planning to have a larger farm by now.

So we’re downsizing our herd – our prices are rock bottom right now to make room for the 40 cria we’re expected to have this year! Check out the great deals here and come visit Fairhope Alpacas in Alabama.

Wow, was I floored. Thanks, Seametrics!
