THE FIBER BOYS
(Made up of Gelded Males and Young Males)
Updated April 7, 2011
ALL OF OUR ALPACAS HAVE BEEN TESTED FOR THE BVD VIRUS PCR.
ALL TEST RESULTS HAVE BEEN NEGATIVE!

Alpaca males are fun to watch. They are like big crias – running and wrestling, and just stretching out in the sun to take a nap.
Choosing a Fiber Boy gives one the opportunity to acquire an alpaca at a more modest price than a comparable female. It is an inexpensive way to get one's feet wet in learning how to care for these loveable animals. With males, one doesn't have to be concerned with pregnancies, birthing, hours spent in "cria watch" or breeding or progesterone testing.
Want to have the freedom to be away from your alpacas? Owning Fiber Boys means you can do this any time of the year, as long as you have a reliable alpaca sitter who feeds and waters them and "scoops the poop" while you are away.
You should realize a return on your expenses in a few years. Just three pounds of blanket fiber processed into yarn should pay about $240 (minus $75 or so for processing). Turn the yarn into a wearable garment, and your profit goes up. What can be done with the raw fiber is limitless, especially if you like to knit, crochet, weave or spin.
The Geldings are offered at $500 each or 3 for $900.
Color: Light Fawn
Sire: First Class Sebastian (ARI 823396)
Dam: Lanark's Indochine (ARI 810827)
ARI: 1267136
First Class Sebastianson, "Sebbie," shows very correct conformation. His fiber is extra long, exceptionally soft and shows a nice broad crimp with signs of pretty nice density. He is a handsome, very gentle male, and one that is easy to work with.
Sebbie sheared 4.38 lbs. of fiber in April 2010.
Color: True Black
Sire: JDS Percival (grey brown)
Dam: R.R. Ebony Ice (True Black)
ARI: 819789
KC is a good-looking male with beautiful conformation. His fiber is very black with a sheen. It spins up with a nice luster. He sired his first cria in the spring of 2005 — Othello, a black male with very nice crimpy fiber.
KC sheared 4.7 lbs. of fiber in April 2010.
Color: Dark Fawn & White
Sire: James TAC (1/2 Peruvian)
Dam: WLA Chestnut
ARI: 842192
William is an excellent fiber producer. His fiber grows extra long, it is dense and has a good crimp. He is a smart fella. He has learned to jump a 3-foot-high electric fence to eat the clover in a particular pasture. When he has his fill, he jumps back over and rejoins the rest of the boys.
William White Socks sheared 6.99 lbs. of fiber on April 17, 2009.
Our young boys need a new home. Prices are shown with each description. Special pricing is offered when you purchase the specified number of other alpacas listed at the same individual price. They have been registered, micro-chipped and tested for BVD.
So why am I practically giving them away? We had 11 males born in 2009 and another 8 born in 2010. Over these two years we only had 2 females born. I do not need any more males. They come in all colors and many have fantastic crimp to their fiber. The males born in 2010 will be ready to go to your home as soon as they are weaned.
BMMA Big Red SOLD!
Color: Med. Brown (Mahogany)
Sire: Cimarron (ARI 818854)

BMMA Dabay SOLD!
Color: Med. Fawn
Sire: W A Bayfield (ARI 838463)
Dam: 7021 Peruvian Daytona (ARI 827472)
ARI: 31623391
His dam and sire are both ribbon winners. His fleece is crimpy with density. Dabay is a very personable and handsome male with a beige face and eyes outlined in black. He just loves to have his neck scratched.
He sheared 3.80 lb. at 9 months.

BMMA Esstrado

Color: Medium Grey
Sire: Allegro BMMA (ARI 1028676)
Dam: Essence Of Color D958 AOA (ARI 1137224)
ARI: 31623346
Needless to say, we were quite surprised to get a silver grey from the union of a silver grey and a fawn. Esstrado has a fine, thick crimp and is truly a handsome male. He was sheared on May 25, but we failed to record his shearing weight in my record book; and his sheared fiber has not been processed as yet. When it is, we will get his sheared fiber weight on this web site.
He was tested negative for BVD and has been micro-chipped.
This is an exceptional buy for a potential herdsire.
