Alpacas For Sale At Leaning Tree
(Lots of pictures for you to see - I've made them small to load quickly):

Some of our past years female cria are shown below (these 3 girls shown directly below are sold and in their new homes). 
More CRIA (means "beautiful baby" in Spanish) are due in the spring of 2007, and all will be available for purchase at weaning (at 6 months)!

All of our alpacas (including our favorite females) are priced and available for sale to the RIGHT HOME, where they will be cared for, safe and appreciated for years to come.

Prices for Females: Because we plan to maintain a very small breeding herd of less than 10 adult alpacas, we offer almost all of our cria for sale each year as healthy weanlings.  Any female cria offered for sale is $4,500 at weaning.  The price for our weaned female crias in the spring after their first shearing is $5,000, and in the fall their price as a yearling jumps substantially, based on their fiber, conformation, personality, & pedigree.  We feel that these prices are extremely fair, and an excellent opportunity for people to buy good quality females!  Our bred and open females of breeding age are offered for sale; they are priced individually.  Please see below for pictures and details of available breeding age females. 

Prices for Males: Fiber quality males are priced at $700 each.  Because we do not personally show our alpacas, all of our males are considered fiber quality.  They are gorgeous, but they are unproven, and because of that, we choose to not assume that they should be kept as herdsires.  If you spot a young male at our farm that you absolutely must have as a junior herdsire or as a show animal, we will certainly register him and sell him to you at fair price for a junior herdsire.  See below for pictures and details of the males that we have available now!

People that truly know me know that I offer my best animals to good homes.  Uber's Tangerine Kiss is one of my best females, and one of my favorites.  If sold, I would want her to go to a farm that would give her lots of TLC, as she is a very sweet and loving female, in addition to being a fantastic mother!

On the left is a picture of Uber's Tangerine Kiss approximately 1 hour after her 2004 cria "Lucky Penny" was born.  Kiss has that just-sheared, just-birthed look, but it shows just how quickly her cria are up and running!  Tangerine Kiss is probably my FAVORITE female here!  Lucky Penny is pictured again at the top right of this page, with milk still on her lips!  I have yet to retain one of Tangerine Kiss' crias, as they are always in demand.  Tangerine Kiss is a sweet-natured, people-friendly female, and an incredible mother!  The only time you will see her gander up is if anything appears to be a threat to her cria - then she becomes "SuperMom" and will stop at nothing to protect her baby.

In the middle is another of Tangerine Kiss' cria named "Pale Moon", just before shearing.  Pale Moon resides at Top Of The Hill Alpacas in Idaho.

On the right is Tangerine Kiss with her first cria born here, a male named "Julyamch", who was sired by Mr. Brazil.

Tangerine Kiss was bred to our herdsire Rajah (see Rajah listed on my herdsires page) on 5/24/06 for an April or early May cria.  She is priced as bred at $14,000.
Pregnancy confirmation and live cria guarantee are included in purchase price.  After April 1, 2007, Tangerine Kiss will be removed from our sales list due to her advanced pregnancy.

Uber's Paula is a black female that has produced 5 female cria in a row!  She was rested this past year, and will be bred to Rajah in early April 2007, and available once bred.  Paula is a *fantastic* mother, and always produces beautiful cria.  Paula, while being one of my older females, is also one of the most playful!  When Paula was bred to Spirit of Hemmingway (a Hemmingway son) twice, she produced beautiful female crias, who have in turn produced outstanding quality.  Paula's last cria "Leaning Tree Speedi G" now resides in California.  She was born on a very cold October morning, and she was up, nursing and literally running FULL-TILT (hence her name!) within just a few minutes.  I'm very fond of Paula, and she continues to impress me with her mothering instinct.

Longo's Potato Cake is a nice herd female that has produced one of our best alpacas here (see Immigrant's Angel in the next section - Angel is Potato Cake's daughter).  Her daughter Angel has beautiful fiber, and a perfect bite.  Potato Cake herself is a female that needs to be bred up to improve those 2 things; her fiber & her bite.  Her bite is a little bit off; this is another thing that I think is important to note, instead of just dremelling-off her teeth to hide it from prospective buyers.  Potato Cake's crias bites have all been RIGHT ON, but hers is not.  For any perspective buyer to see, I'm including a picture of Potato Cake with her teeth untrimmed (something we do to her about every 2 years to keep them filed down).  Her teeth will be trimmed again in April (it has been 2 years).

What Potato Cake lacks in fiber quality, she makes up for in mothering ability.  She milks heavily and her crias grow like weeds!  Potato Cake is bred to Rajah, and is due starting on July 4th, 2007!  She is priced as bred at $7,000, which includes live birth guarantee.

Immigrant's Angel is a friendly, beautiful white female.  She has been bred to Paradise Ridge Camlet (an award-winning male) at Top Of The Hill Alpacas in Idaho, and will remain there until her pregnancy has been confirmed twice.  I'm really excited to see what that breeding will produce!  Angel has 1 strike against her, in that she lost her cria this past summer.  I do not fault her with that, because I was away at a show when she had her cria, and it was triple-digit heat here in the desert, which is hard on Moms and new crias alike.  Because I was away at a show, I only have to guess that it did not get enough colostrum during the first 24 hours (possibly due to the 100+ temps that week).  But because I believe in FULL disclosure about any faults or concerns I have with any animal I sell, that is something that must be noted, and it also has negative affect on her sales price.  Because I am so fond of Angel, and the fact that she has the best fiber on our farm, I would typically have priced her (bred) at $14,000.  But her price reflects the fact that her cria did not survive this past year.  It should be noted that her prior-year's cria is a beautiful, healthy black male who lives at Top Of The Hill Alpacas, and she was a great Mom to him!  He has beautiful fiber, like his dam, and her sweet-natured attitude as well!

Immigrant's Angel was bred to Paradise Ridge Camlet on October 11, 2006, so her cria is due beginning on September 11, 2007.
Angel is priced at $10,000 as bred with a confirmed pregnancy and a live birth guarantee.  Low price due to loss of her 2006 cria.

Meet "Leaning Tree Hewlitt-Packard" aka "HP":
Call HP and he will come running!  
HP is a super sweet-natured young male, sired by an outside breeding of our female Night Song.  HP was born on 5/4/06, so he is still under a year old.  He is extremely people friendly (but not pushy), and he will make an excellent pet by continuing to give him lots of TLC and some training.  He will not be sold to any farm where he will be without the company of at least 1 other alpaca.  HP has nice fiber and a wonderful disposition.  He is ready to be halter trained, and worked with from the ground up.  HP's price as an unregisterd, ungelded pet/fiber male is $700.

Such a cute face!                                      HP kept following me too close for a picture!    HP's sheared dam with him right behind her.

Leaning Tree Alpacas Sales List At A Glance:

Getting Prepared For Alpacas: Because we only want to sell to farms where we know our animals will be safe and happy, we will have some questions for you, too!  This is especially important for people just getting into raising any type of animal.  We want our animals to have companionship, good fences (to keep them in and predators out!), 3-sided shelters, shade during the summer, good nutrition and regular management such as shearing, de-worming, & quality feed.  We cannot sell to single-alpaca homes, as their well-being and happiness is very important to us! 

Farm Visits: We welcome farm visits from anyone who is interested in alpacas; you do not need to be ready to buy alpacas to visit our farm!  Every farm visitor should leave with a wealth of new information, and hopefully excitement about someday having alpacas in their life!

Support:  We will provide you with 24/7 support on any questions or problems you may have pertaining to your alpacas, short of giving advice that requires the skills and knowledge of a veterinarian.  This is one area where our farm really stands out; we are small in size, but we are always there to help.
