Classic Alpaca Auction

At the Alpaca Classic Auction event  on 15th Setember, prices paid were very good, with £310,000 being bid for the animals on offer.  Highest interest was for females with Snowmass cria at foot, with all bids in excess of £9000 - we still have a few of our 2011 born cria available.   Please call to make an appointment to come and see them.

During the informative seminars, Alonso Burgos from IncaAlpaca announced that from now on in Peru, they would be paying as much for coloured as white fleece - previously it had been about half.

He also stressed the importance of fine, soft handling fleece, which is of course what we are trying to acheive here at Melford Green, however we responded to the latest news by securing the finest fleece black and brown females in the catalogue. They will be arriving in Darsham soon...
