alpacas for sale

This is a picture of BMAR's Rosie Cotton, a cria produced by Hally Boo and BMAR's Bilbo Baggins- sold at one year old for $9,000- simply stunning...

This blog entry is serving as the sale page for Black Magic

Alpaca Ranch

Male Alpacas

Due to life difficulties, all males shown are being offered for free- to good homes only!

Mithrandir the Gray Pilgrim ARI# 30359963- silver, has criated in gray and rose gray, a big bold male, Mithrandir has some dental issues that stem from neglect as a teenager, but his crias have been completely correct. One of his crias can be seen below, BMAR's Heathertoes. Big, bold, beautiful- that's what his crias are.
$500 sale price SOLD


ARI # 510367 Luxor- fawn appaloosa with gray and rose gray spots, who has criated in rose gray, fawn and black, out of Peruvian Platinum.

Born on Valentine's Day 1999, this Romeo's looks may have faded with time, but he has proven himself again and again to us. Check out one of his crias below- BMAR's Light of Earendil.

A steal? You betcha.
$500 sale price- regular breeding fee $750- you do the math. SOLD



ARI # 821602 Pacifica's Eclipse- white, but just say that to his face- he has criated in many colors, maintaining his fineness over his 9 years. With Peruvian Aladdin and Accoyo Leon as his sire and grandsire, his potential has played out several times on our ranch and his babies are always the first to sell. Eclipse is one of the sweetest, most gentle alpacas we have ever had on our ranch. We breed for temperment, and he sure does fit that bill perfectly. And, Eclipse is conformationally correct in every way. Simply perfection.
$500 sale price - $1,000 breeding fee (see what a deal he is?) SOLD

What are we thinking?? Well, we believe in paying it forward. We have used these males to our benefit, now we would like to pay them forward at a price that is remarkable, hey, it's what we do!



BMAR's Light of Earendil ARI # 30369276



What can I say about this male? He is gorgeous. Long staple length with a fine handle, nice Vicuna like waves in his fleece, he tested at 21 microns at 4 years of age. Earendil is a completely correct redwood rose gray with an easy going personality. We are breeding him for the first time this fall (no fault of his own, we just have had lots of males!) and are looking forward to seeing what he will criate. Luxor- you done good!


$3,000 sale price- $750 introductory breeding fee



Faramir- sweet, unregistered SURI fiber male alpaca. Very laid back, County Fair favorite! Faramir is just a sweet, sweet boy. $300 SOLD




Al- rescue paca, white and gelded - fiber male, Al has a bit of an attitude, experienced owners are the best for Al.
$200 SOLD


Also we have Janus- brown and white male fiber alpaca $300

Easy to handle, and easy going.







FEMALE ALPACAS
For the same reasons as stated above, we will consider trade offers for hay or vehicles for all our girls


BMAR's Elbereth ARI# pending- a lovely yearling fawn with dark points out of a gray maker-Luxor- born 2007, with exceptional staple length and fineness, we see great potential in her, and it breaks our hearts to sell her. With an adorable face and inquisitive nature, Elbereth has a lot to give. Her dam BMAR's Arwen Undomiel can be seen below. Elbereth has great potential for criating in gray!
$3,000 SOLD
Elbereth's adorable cria face, how can you resist such cuteness and photogenic talents?

BMAR's Lady Galadriel ARI# 30369269- a white beauty- born 2004- comes with a breeding to Jazzman ARI #1091243- a fawn male out of Dominator, who is a well known stud in Canada. With Acero Marka's Amazing Grace and Acero Marka's Jasmine as dam and granddam, you can't go wrong.

Jazz also boasts PPeruvian Guellermo genes, he's Jazz's granddad! Jazz is a tall, gorgeous fawn male with nice, fine fleece and excellent density and crimp, with exceptional staple length. We are excited to see what Lady G. does next!

With incredible density and coverage. Galadriel is lovely, with great fleece that is still very fine. One of my very first true loves, out of my very favorite female, Lady G. is a ranch favorite, and we sell her with deep regret. Born to our dancing girl Osita, her personality is laid back and she is an easy breeder. Lady G is a proven dam, she had an absolutely stunning white female cria that we lost suddenly to an impacted bowel this year before she even turned one year old.
(and before we registered her, of course)
Lady G's lineage includes Pacifica's Eclipse, Peruvian Aladdin, Accoyo Leon and NWA's Anastasia.
Currently bred to Dominator son- Jazzman for a fall 2009 cria
$5,000










Hally-Boo
- ARI # 847086- born on Halloween in 2001- huacaya
Caramel colored, super typey and at 7 years of age still super fine. A totally easy keeper, never a vet visit for Hally in all adult years.
Hally is a proven mother of two gorgeous female crias, one dark fawn, and from our own BMAR's Bilbo Baggins, was born BMAR's Rosie Cotton- who you can see at the top of the page!
Both crias have taken the best from Hally, with their fine fleece and typey heads. Hally boasts two perfectly unassisted deliveries and plenty of milk. She self weans her crias at just the right age, and that head, oh isn't it to die for?



Currently bred to Garemo- ARI# 1129274 for a fall 2009 cria, a gorgeous typey male out of Peruvian Guellermo, with incredible fleece, seriously this male has the whole package- staple length, crimp, density and fineness.
Great combination!
$6,000






BMAR's Heathertoes ARI pending- Huacaya- dark rose gray- out of a black dam (Osita) and silver sire (Mithrandir) Born June 2006, Heathertoes is a big, beautiful girl with excellent staple length and super crimpy fleece, that is extremely fine. Heathertoes has perfect conformation and she is big enough for us to consider breeding her this fall! Heathertoes fleece won first place at our county fair last year. Heather has the most unique fleece color, being a solid dark rose gray with no white on her body, she is really stunning.
Unbred: $8,000 bred to Jazzman, a Dominator son: $9,000 SOLD




BMAR's Arwen Undomiel-ARI # 30359956 Huacaya- black headed roan proven female.
Born on 9/28/00
Ever heard someone say, "She has a great personality!" That is Arwen, she is an 'old Chilean model' with the potential for great crias all locked in.
Arwen is the sweetest, most easy going female I have ever owned. Easily handled by one person, and breeds up to excellent quality crias very easily.
Her previous cria was a beautiful true black male out of our white Eclipse, and I am still kicking myself for selling him as a cria as a fiber male.... oy....
Arwen has her crias without any assistance, and has plenty of milk for them.
Bred to Garemo for a fall 2009 cria.

Questions as to her breeding history? I'll gladly tell you the story- email me!
$3,000 SOLD

Hi Sandy,
BTW, where is your blog? I can't find it!

Well, things are just really tight (read, unbearably tight)right now, and with the holidays just around the corner, I want to be able to have a Christmas for my family, and to be able to go visit my family (gas, isn't it terrible?)
So I am selling.
It cost money to keep them, and if I want to keep some of them, I have to sell a lot of them.

Besides, my husband says they have to go...

Such a sneaky little spy you are :))
I am so excited for you, and I typed out a whole comment for you on the last blog, but guess what? It disappeared!!! *spooky sound effects*

I suspect it was someone from the spy network trying to squelch my alpaca speak.
Could you look into it for me?
Tell me all about it, okay? And be sure to get a picture of you getting paca kisses!!!

silfiriel said...

hi Rachelle,
I am really bumped to see you're selling some of your alpacas, but I suppose it's what you do with them.... I don't know....but I guess it's not like you're enjoying it.
however, the way it is, is the way it is (from Firefly, i don't know if you are watching much TV, but this is my favorite show ever). Maybe you've sold them by now, but if you haven't you can put them on Google Base for sale www.base.google.com. First you need to activate google base with your e-mail account and than put your alpacas up there.
1.go to base.google.com
2.choose "one at a time"
3.than "create your own item", write down "animals" and click "next"
4.write title, colors hight, and on the right choose breed, website, animal so you could add this info as well. you can make a bigger description as well.
5.attach a pic, and fill in any other required info and publish.

I hope this will help

B.T.Bear (esq.) said...

Another dose ov nose-hugs bein sent heer....

silfiriel said...

or go to your profile and add in interests "alpacas" with small letters, no punctuation, save your profile and than click on alpacas, which will show any other alpaca breeders with blogs out there, so maybe you can offer them etc.
or just go here http://www.blogger.com/profile-find.g?t=i&q=alpacas

Catmoves said...

I'm sorry you need to do this, but we all must do things we don't like from time to time.
Best wishes my friend.

Rachelle said...

Hi guys,
Well, we do always have one or two for sale, but only rarely do we HAVE to sell, you know?

Right now, we HAVE to sell. So, yes, it is hard to decide who goes and who stays. There are those I will never sell, and those whom I WANT to never sell, but must. So, that's where we are right now.

Obviously we would be terrible at this business if we never sold anything we bred LOL, but I like to dictate the whos and whyfors, not have them dictated to me, ja know?

I thank all of you for your support, it means a great deal to me and my family at this time. We will still be in the business, but on a much smaller scale.
I would like to sell at least three of my females, and half of my many males, and have thus far had a lot of interest, so we will see where it leads!

Life is never, by any means, boring!

Rachelle said...

Dear Silfiriel,

We don't have tv here.










Have you gotten up off the floor yet? LOL!!
We can't get cable where we live, and satellite is a luxury we cut out after the first lay off. We haven't had television for about 5 years now. We love our DVD collection, and I do have a Netflix account that keeps us entertained for a fraction of satellite cost per month.
We love Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, 24, and every Danny Kaye movie known to man :))

B.T.Bear (esq.) said...

Hullo!

B.T.Bear (esq.) said...

OOOPS! HAHAH!

The pic's of our day at the Llama park are up on my blog. Ihope they make you smile!!!

silfiriel said...

I thought you we're joking! At first.
But I guess you're not missing much, TV is boring lately, same stuff just different names. I ust watched Stargate the first show, although I hear Atlantis is pretty good. Jewel Staite (Elia) was on Firefly too. Firefly had only 14 episodes and was cancelled , but I loved it. Still watch the DVD sometimes.

Rachelle said...

Dear B.t.,
I'm on my way over *straps on jet pack*
See you soon!
zzzsshhhhhwwwoooooosh!!!!!!!!

Oh, I'm sorry some of your babies have to leave the nest. :(

Do you have Craigslist in your area? I buy and sell everything on Craigslist these days....

Mrs Mac said...

Rachelle,

Do you know, until our visit to the park on Sunday, I'd never spotted the difference in nose length between the llamas and alpacas!

Don't the llamas look funny when they run?!!!

I caught some on video. I'll put it on Dilly's blog when I've transferred it all.

Hope you're OK.

Gattina said...

It must be very sad for you to sell them, but as everything in life, business is business. You can't keep them all.

Victorya said...

Shrinky said...

Oh my dearest, darling girl. You must have an awful lot of good heading your way, I think all the bad must be about used up by now. (Arms around you, rocking you gently.)

Rachelle said...

Dear Travistee,
Let me think about it... um, nope.

Mice are those things I used to feed to my snake, or the things I encourage my cats to eat.
I read your tales of mice woe and laughed though!
Yup, I'm one sick puppy.

Alpaca Farmgirl said...

Rachelle,
I am a fairly new blogger, and long time alpaca breeder. Can't believe that I am finding your blog just when you are selling your alpacas!!! Bummer.

Sorry to hear about your family stuff and I know how much you love your animals. (I have lurked on Alpacasite occasionally.) Wish I had some $$$. I'd love Hally-Boo! She's quite the heartbreaker. I may dream of her tonight.

Best Wishes! ~ Katy

Rachelle said...

Dear alpaca farmgirl,
:)) I'll still be around! I am keeping my favorite old gal and her new cria and some boys. I just won't be actively breeding and marketing.
So stop on by anytime, I will be posting new cria pictures when I get back from my mom's this week.
Slainte~

Oh, I know it was hard parting with your precious family members. I think I am glad I did not see this post when you had to do it. I might have cried for you.
