About This Breeder:
****WhyNot Alpacas, only a small selection of whose animals are listed in the For Sale section of this website, in fact have a WIDE VARIETY OF ALPACAS FOR SALE, including alpacas of both sexes in varying ages and colours.
****We are always happy to put together a package of animals to meet each individual customer's wishes; and are confident that we shall be able to fit you up with just the alpacas to suit your particular taste/needs****
****Quotes from Satisfied Customers who have bought animals or Knitwear from WhyNot Alpacas (**See our website www.whynotalpacas.co.uk for more):
"Boys are great! Forever charming, & we can't believe how little trouble they are. Seems every time I look out of the window they're having their photos taken by people in shorts".
"You would not believe how well they have settled-it is as if they were meant to live in our copse. We are completely, utterly and absolutely in love. Bliss!"
"Just to say the pullover is super. Wear it all the time."
****WhyNot Alpacas is an expanding, family-run herd, established in 2000. All our animals for sale are hardy and well-handled; and all youngstock are halter-trained.
****The ever-improving quality of our herd has been demonstrated at Shows over the years.
****As a part of our service, we are always happy to offer comprehensive after-sales back-up where needed; and some hands-on experience for first-time owners, at Ghyllas, if required.
Deals available on packages of three or more animals.
PLEASE NOTE:
1. Because we firmly believe that, especially in the North of England, it is not beneficial to cover a young female before she has had proper time to mature, it will be found that our home-bred girls have all been given plenty of time to grow up, rather than being covered in adolescence. We hope that they are going to be breeding for many years; and our policy is based upon not spoiling the sheep for a ha'porth of tar (or the extra six months). We hold that waiting to start them on a Spring-birthing cycle can do nothing but good, to both them and their owners.
2. This year we have enjoyed huge interest from the visiting Public from all over the World. When attending events of any sort, we generally take along a selection of both our delightful home-bred Alpacas and our home-grown Alpaca products. We (and our animals) always enjoy meeting/re-meeting friends, both old and new, all drawn irresistibly to our pen by the magnetic charm of our wonderful Alpacas.
3. As always, we and a team of the ever-popular Alpacas will be attending as many Farmers' Markets as we can manage in the attractive village of Orton, near Appleby in Cumbria. This well-established and splendidly stocked market is held on the second Saturday of each month.
