Breedings:
Here at Tierra Prometida, we offer breedings to several award
winning herd sires. The fees will vary depending on the herd
sire. There will be no agistment charges for females or their
crias for the first 60 days in our breeding program. Medical
and diagnostic costs will be billed to the owner. We do require
that any animals sent to our farm for breeding have the appropriate
state required medical tests and mortality insurance or a
waiver.

|
Agistment: Tierra
Prometida Alpaca Ranch will board alpacas at $2 per day.
Owners will be billed for any medical expenses incurred.
We require that animals sent for agistment have appropriate
state required medical tests and mortality insurance or
a signed waiver.

Sales: Most animals at Tierra
Prometida ranch are for sale. Sales contracts are available
for review. Sales may be by cash or check. Financing is
available with a 20% down payment with the remainder payable
monthly for up to 2 years. Interest is set at the prime
rate at the time of sale. All alpacas purchased at Tierra
Prometida Alpaca Ranch need to be fully insured by the new
owner until the alpaca leaves Tierra Prometida. At this
time, insurance is at the new owners discretion. Financed
alpacas must stay at Tierra Prometida until they are fully
paid. Alpacas purchased and paid in full from Tierra Prometida
may receive up to 3 months agistment free of charge. This
time may not be used at a later date. The new owners will
be billed for medical fees. All purchases of maiden females
come with one complimentary breeding to one of our fully
owned herd sires. We will need to charge the appropriate
breeding fee for a herd sire that we co-own, but the free
breeding from the sale may be saved and used later, or transferred
to another female.

for delivery of your alpacas anywhere in the continental USA
at no charge. |

| Farm Guarantees: |
|
1. Bred females are sold
with a "live birth guarantee" meaning that they
will deliver a cria that survives for at least 7 days. If,
in spite of proper care, the cria dies within 7 days, Tierra
Prometida will provide a free rebreeding, in addition to any
complimentary breedings already offered.
|
| 2.
Males sold as herd sires are sold with a guarantee of
fertility. This guarantee is good until the male is "proven". |
| 3. Maiden females who are
unable to conceive will be exchanged for a similar female at
Tierra Prometida, if available, or have their purchase price
refunded. |
| |
| Breeding vs. Non-breeding
Males |
| Tierra Prometida has four
quality levels of males; pet quality, fiber quality, junior
herdsire, and herdsire. Males sold as herdsires and junior herdsires
are sold with their registration papers. Pets and fiber males
are sold without their registration papers since it is assumed
they won't be breeding. If the buyer chooses to breed one of
the males and requires the registration papers, an additional
charge of $3000 will apply. |
