Alpacas International, through its Manager Geoff Scott a New Zealander now living in Chile, has been able to cultivate strong relationships with alpaca breeders in both Peru and Chile. Geoff regularly attends alpaca fiestas in Peru and shows around the world.
These contacts enable Geoff and his team to select and supply to clients in the market only the very highest quality alpacas at very competitive prices.
Some of the prerequisites for selection include an alpaca perfect body conformation carrying a low micron fleece which has density and evenness of crimp and character.
You may view the an example of the Evaluation Spreadsheet used during the selection process.
