Alpacas for Sale
Availability will vary depending on time of year and the herd members you are looking for.
True black, genetically tested, properly raised.
Availability will vary depending on the time of year and the herd members you are looking for. Our herd of top-quality registered pedigree black females are all genetically colour-tested — so if you are after true blacks who will birth black babies, do contact us.
We will always have a selection of breeding females available to make up a starter herd, and some great genetics in the herd if you are wanting to introduce a specific genetic line into your own breeding programme. At Butterley we mate our girls in July for June birthing the following season. This gives mums and babies the best chance of taking advantage of our warm summers and lush grazing. The cria stay with their mum until around Christmas before weaning. At 12 months old the males and females are separated, and at around 16 months the males are castrated. This is the best age to purchase pet or walking boys.
Estates Satin Cloud.
We are passionate about building strong, healthy herds through thoughtful breeding and carefully chosen genetics. One of the ways we do this is by introducing high-quality imported bloodlines, helping avoid over-breeding within the UK and strengthening future generations.
Our current stud male, Estates Satin Cloud, is a multi-champion breeding male imported from exceptional lineage — sired by the renowned Snowmass Satin Reserve XX out of Premier’s Adriana. Satin enjoyed a successful show-ring career in the USA before relocating to Jagarbo Alpaca in Sweden, and now joins us bringing something truly special to our breeding programme.
He is a proud, well-structured male with a striking head and calm presence. His fleece is fine, dense and beautifully bright, with lovely curvature and consistency throughout. With his fine micron and true-to-type characteristics, Satin offers both visual appeal and outstanding fibre qualities.
Because Satin is an import, his pedigree is refreshingly different from the small pool of black stud males currently available in the UK — giving herd owners access to valuable new genetics. We currently have females pregnant to Satin, and some of his daughters are also available for sale.
Sold with known health status.
Owning and selling animals of known health status really matters to us. Our alpacas are grazed in bio-secure, badger-fenced paddocks. These paddocks are cleaned every day of the year, which helps keep our animals parasite-free.
While we try to maintain a closed herd, any purchased animals are Enferplex TB-tested before moving and held in quarantine, where we test and treat accordingly for any parasites.
Any alpacas sold come with vet health certification and Enferplex testing as required.
