 Breeder Biography:
As we near the beginning of our fifth year of raising alpacas, we do not
look back a minute. With even more enthusiasm than we had then, we look
forward to the enjoyment of each new day. During this time, we have
learned much and have met many wonderful people across America, many with
whom we have become best friends. We treasure the memories and look
forward to making more, simply because of our alpacas, these magical
creatures that provide a lifestyle and business like none other.
Through
careful genetic selection at Alpacas at Red Banks, we continue to improve
the fiber characteristics with each cria born into our herd. Starting with
a conformationally correct foundation, we make breeding choices from many
wonderful bloodlines and have found it to be fun, providing an opportunity
for us to plan and present rich, bright colors, through a palette of
luxurious alpaca fiber while continuing to improve our herd.
We enjoy receiving guests at our ranch throughout the year. Just give us a
call to schedule your personal appointment so we can show you why we truly
do enjoy our daily lives with our alpacas. Alpacas are unique,
inquisitive, and gentle creatures. They:
• Produce a renewable fiber product, harvested annually
• Produce fiber known throughout the world for its luxurious, soft,
lightweight, warm, and hypoallergenic attributes
• Are earth friendly, they--
--Have padded feet rather than hooves
--Require small acreages
• Allow breeders across America to--
--Maintain green space on their family farms
--Enjoy peaceful, rural lifestyles
 Alpacas “Are the World’s
Finest Livestock Investment,” without a doubt. After your research, we are
confident you will agree.
--What other investment allows you to enjoy soft, cuddly hugs and sweet
kisses, when you like, while simultaneously enjoying generous financial
and personal rewards?
Vital to the success of any alpaca farm is excellent herd health. We have
been fortunate to have superb Vet Care provided by Robert E. Main, DVM, at
Gainesville Veterinary Clinic, Gainesville, MO. He has the knowledge and
experience with camelids that we require. We are happy to say: Alpacas
at Red Banks is a BVD Free farm.
~Our farm is
small enough that each alpaca is known individually. "Hands On" daily, we
have learned much, which we enjoy sharing with each interested person. It
would be our pleasure to help you begin your personal alpaca adventure
with these lovely creatures...call us today. Add one or more of our superb
alpacas to your new or established herd...or let us help you start your
own alpaca herd/farm in the way YOU choose.
Alpacas at Red Banks utilizes excellent husbandry practices, and provides
proper nutrition for our alpacas’ health and well-being. We continue to
improve our herd's quality with each new cria by devoting special
attention to the selection of every herdsire, selecting each for his
excellent fleece characteristics and conformation.
~ We cheerfully welcome each day's joy. Alpacas, through their curiosity,
playfulness, and sweet personalities draw us to them.
~ Our lifestyle with alpacas has provided more rewarding experiences and
fun than we dreamed possible, personal blessings for us and awards for our

Hotcakes is a wonderful foundation female. She is an excellent,
attentive dam that provides plenty of milk for her crias. Both her
dam and sire are rose grey, and she has had a beautiful light
silver grey female cria whose fiber glistens with hints of
lavender (the lavender inherited from Hotcake's sire, the rose
grey Cavalier's Andy). We have rebred her to the same fantastic
herdsire Aussie Rockford for a November 2008 cria. Rockford is an
outstanding herdsire, one of the best in the country. He has
extremely dense fiber, perfect conformation, and a strikingly
handsome head. He is a medium silver grey son of Pperuvian Felix.
His dam is Hannahruh, a fine silver grey with a silver and black
lineage. She is an AOBA National blue-ribbon winner herself.
Special Individual Alpaca Feature: Hotcakes e is bred
to grey Aussie Rockford, and has rose grey dam and sire herself!
Purchase Hotcakes, and you can have your own gorgeous
Rockford/Hotcakes cria to show. We offer Hotcakes with a breed

bloodlines, PPPeruvian Dracula, Peruvian Hemingway, 4Peruvian
Matador, PPeruvian Pluro, 4Peruvian Accoyo’s Macusani, PPeruvian
Camilio, and Peruvian Microsoft, just to mention a few.
Hotcakes and her future cria will bring a long line of excellent

 Alpaca
Republic's Morningstar (Star) is a joy to have at our place. Even
as she expects her first cria early 2009, she will sashay our way
for hugs and kisses. She has a very sweet personality, always
bubbling with joy.
Her fiber is fine, dense, bright, and full of medium-frequency
crimp. She has a gorgeous staple, that reached an amazing 6 inch
length when she was only 6 months old!
She has correct conformation and feminine features. She is by far
the most curious one in our group, racing to see what's happening
anytime there is any action anywhere. Arriving on a Sunday morning
in the starlight, she is destined to be a star herself, coming
from such distinctive lines as Show Me the Money (Royal Fawn),
Hemingway, Accoyo Chaparral, PPPeruvian Bravado, for a start.

 Peach is a
lovely full Peruvian, one-quarter Accoyo alpaca with a light fawn
fiber, blushing with hints of peach. She has a sweet manner and
like her dam, a strong, straight frame with really nice bone
density. Her gorgeous dense fleece exhibits consistent,
high-frequency crimp, a full coverage fleece starting at her
topknot, and continuing all the way to her toes. Her sire is
Peruvian SA Adagio. Adagio’s progeny have been consistently
outstanding, and Peach is no exception; she is a multi-ribbon
winner. In the show ring, Peach was described by the judges as a
very feminine alpaca, having a beautiful head, and built well for
her job. Peach is bred to multiple award-winning NWA Hemmingway’s
Spirit for a Spring 2007 cria. With Peach's quality, she is sure
to throw many award-winning crias. She could be like Georgia, her
dam, who has thrown four crias so far, ALL Gorgeous Females. Peach
is ready to join your foundation herd now to deliver many quality
crias for you.

What a wonderful bloodline diversification opportunity Yupanqui's
Peruvian Jewel offers ~ You can Quickly boost your herd with
quality genetics!
  This
Beautiful Yupanqui Daughter’s ancestry is filled with impressive,
well-known bloodlines. Dam G. Peruvian Georgia's sire is
Ppperuvian Bravado, aka Accoyo Peruvian Bravado. Jewel's sire is
the famous Ppperuvian Yupanqui, unfortunately now deceased. What a
great opportunity to add quality genetics from Yupanqui's direct
bloodline into your herd.
Jewel’s personal features provide gorgeous fiber with high
amplitude crimp that exemplifies wonderful fineness, good density,
brightness, and an extra long staple length (nearly 6 inches). She
has correct conformation, a good bite, and a lovely, feminine
head.
Jewel is an easy breeder, and is now expecting her second cria
Spring 2009. She is bred to 3/4 Peruvian, 1/4 Chilean Ozark
Mountain The General, bringing the awesome bloodlines of Pperuvian
Caligula and Pperuvian Camilio through PCA Peruvian Microsoft. We
anxiously anticipate another superb quality cria next spring from
this unique blend of quality bloodlines.

 Grandsire full-Accoyo
import PPPeruvian Dracula:
One look at Flint and you immediately observe the herdsire
presence he proudly displays. We are sure this is in great part
due to his grandsire being the full-Accoyo import PPPeruvian
Dracula, one of a very small group of original Accoyo males
remaining in the United States today, as many have been sold to
Australia and other countries, and others have passed away.
Magical Farms stated, “We have been so impressed with the Dracula
offspring over the years that we purchased him back...” Further
noting, “Some of our best offspring have Accoyo Dracula in their
pedigree.”
 From his dam,
Our Man Flint has Accoyo Dracula in his pedigree! Flint is no
exception to this caliber of genetics. He has dense, highly
advanced fiber. Our Man Flint’s frontal view, placed next to that
of grandsire PPPeruvian Dracula’s quickly reminds one that Flint
truly is from the Dracula line.
Our Man Flint also enjoys a wealth of outstanding genetics
inherited from the exceptional True Black 4Peruvian Matador line
from his sire. The black around Flint’s mouth, eyes, and other
points indicates that he is likely to pass that True Black color
to his offspring. The characteristics from the Matador genetics
include flawless conformation, dense bone structure, and a
consistent fine, crimpy fiber (20.3 microns at 5 yrs of age, and
an incredible 23.4 at 8 yrs of age).
Flint has begun his breeding career, and we are pleased with his
cria Lady Di. We now anxiously await another quality cria from
Flint and Yupanqui’s Peruvian Jewel, one that will have a combined
powerhouse of Accoyo genetics ~ what a combination, Dracula +
Yupanqui! Keep an eye on our website for the announcement of
Flint’s and Jewel’s new, and bound to be outstanding cria, within
a week of 2007 October end.
We are offering this outstanding herdsire with our usual 30-day
live birth guarantee, and now, for a limited time, a Female Cria.

Lil' Snaz has the fiber characteristics one would expect as he
boasts the bloodlines of Peruvian Hemingway G171 and Pperuvian
Victor G4563 on his sire's side. Lil' Snaz's sire The Snaz has
done quite well in the show ring, having received 7 1st place
ribbons, 4 Color Champions, 2 Reserve Color Champions. Lil' Snaz
carries the same characteristics forward... The Lil' Snaz has an
excellent disposition, also coming from his sire The Snaz, we are
sure.
On his dam's side, Lil' Snaz has 4Peruvian Accoyo's Macusani
bloodlines. Macusani had an import micron of 20.2 at two years of
age. It is not surprising that the Lil' Snaz has superb fiber!
We anxiously await Lil' Snaz's first cria spring 2009, and know it
will be the first of many spectacular cria for him! His sire has
been throwing color in his beautiful crias, and Lil' Snaz is bred
to color...perhaps his first cria will be color, and is sure to
improve our herd.
You will find the Lil' Snaz to be conformationally correct, with a
good bite, and best of all, very dense fiber with a soft handle,
wonderful staple length, and well-defined crimp, with coverage
down to his toes.
Call today to arrange a breeding for your female to the Lil' Snaz.
For a very reasonable fee, you too can have the wonderful
characteristics that Lil' Snaz is sure to produce.
If you want to improve your herd, Lil' Snaz is the sire for the

  Melinero
is the Grandson of one of Australia's top studs, "Accoyo PPeruvian
Pluro." He’s the herdsire to add some of these rare, but wonderful
genetics to your herd. While we are guaranteeing a female from the
breeding, what better time could there be than now to add those
genetics?
Melinero’s grandsires are Ppperuvian Inca and 4Peruvian Chaval.
With bloodlines such as these, it is no surprise that he is such a
magnificent herdsire himself. Grand presence, macho attitude, lots
of charisma and an easy-going personality ~ a fine combination for
a herdsire!
He is quite the stud in the breeding pen. He persistently, with
assertiveness, often settles females at first breeding. Melinero’s
first son is quite handsome himself, Sergio (see photo at right).
Next spring, we expect even more wonderful crias from him.
Let us not forget the fiber...Melinero is a fantastic fiber
producer.
His fiber has ...
~ An outstanding staple length
~ A uniform, rich dark, dark brown color
~ Superb density
~ Wonderful handle
~ Bold, high-amplitude, consistent crimp
~ Approximately 8 pounds of fiber this year
  Melinero
passes his wonderful genetics to his cria, as son Sergio confirms.
Besides being quite a handsome male, Sergio has balanced
conformation, showing great structure and strength. His fiber,
like that of his sire’s, displays great density, the kind that
does not press down when you place your hand on it. Then, on
separating the fiber, you find consistent, bold, high-amplitude
crimp from the top of his head all the way down his legs and
throughout his tail...Wow!

Pachacuti, do a search using his name on AlpacaNation and look at

bred to him. This will be a high value breeding for you. Pachacuti

I am
reading terms I'm not familiar with -- cria, agist, gestation, camelid,
conformation, pronking...?
A cria (cree-ah) is a baby alpaca, agist
(a-jist) is another term for boarding, gestation (jes-tay-shun)
is the time of being carried in the womb from conception to birth,
camelid (ca-mel-id) is a group term for alpacas, llamas,
guanacos, vicunas and camels, and conformation is the proportionate
shape of an alpaca. When alpacas run for fun, they prance and bounce
through the air with all four feet off the ground -- this is called
pronking and is a joy to watch.
What
is the difference between a huacaya and suri alpaca,
between a Peruvian, Bolivian and Chilean, and what is an Accoyo?
There
are two recognized alpaca fleece types: that of the huacaya (wa-kye-ya)
which has a fine, dense, crimpy wool-like structure with excellent
insulating qualities and the suri (sir-ee) which has a
longer, twisted, silky textured fiber with no crimp. Both are distinct
and have excellent value. 90% of the alpacas in the world are huacayas
and 10% are suris.
Peruvian,
Bolivian, and Chilean refer to the country of origin of an
alpaca. In competitions this information is not a factor -- alpacas are
judged and ranked on the correctness of their conformation and the quality
of their fiber.
An
Accoyo denotes an animal with lineage traced to the herd of Don Julio
Barreda, a famous Peruvian breeder.
 What are the average
stats for alpacas -- size, weight, life expectancy, breeding age,
gestation period?
Alpacas are
small and easy to handle -- they are about 36" tall at the withers and
weigh about 150 pounds. Female alpacas begin breeding at between 14 and 18
months of age, while males begin breeding at about three years. The
females produce approximately one baby per year during a reproductive life
of 15-20 years. Their gestation period averages 11.5 months.
What is
the price range for alpacas?
The factors that influence individual alpaca prices
include color, conformation, fleece quality, and quantity, age, and sex.
Females sell for more money on average than males, but good quality herdsires
demand the highest individual prices.
The
range of value for breeding females is currently between $10,000 and
$40,000. Young, unproven high quality stud prospects routinely sell for
between $7,500 and $25,000. The highest quality males with unique
characteristics or exceptional offspring on the ground have sold in excess
of $750,000.
Alpacas
that are not of breeding quality are very desirable and salable as pets
and for their fiber -- their price range averages $500 to $1500.
Can I
lease an alpaca?
Yes, it is the the quickest start to
owning alpacas with the least initial investment! For a set fee you
may lease a bred dam (mother) for the duration of her pregnancy and own
the cria (baby) when it is born. Once it is weaned -- usually at 6 months
old -- you may sell it, agist (board) it or take it home with you.
Please email us
for more details.
What if
I don't want to breed alpacas but want them just as pets or to use their
fiber?
If an alpaca does not have the characteristics necessary
for breeding, it can be purchased very reasonably ($500-1500) as a
pet/fiber quality animal and would be registered as a non-breeder --
reclassification to a breeding status must have the approval of the
breeder from whom you originally purchased the animal. Many families and
spinners own pet quality animals. It is important to note that alpacas
are herd animals and need the company of another alpaca or llama --
therefore pet/fiber animals are often sold only in pairs to new owners.
 What kind of people own
alpacas?
Raising alpacas is a rewarding experience for families with
children and also for couples approaching retirement who want to blend an
income producing business with a peaceful, stress-free lifestyle.
Spinners and weavers may own pet quality animals as a source of fiber for
their hobby or home-based business.
Do I
need a farm to own alpacas?
No, we (or a breeding farm of your choice) can be "your
farm". For a small daily fee, usually $3 to $5, your alpacas can be
agisted (boarded) -- indefinitely or until you are ready to take them home
-- and receive excellent daily care and professional vet services.
I have
land -- is it enough and what type of facilities do I need on it to raise
alpacas?
Alpacas can be pastured at 5-10 per
acre. They require minimal fencing, a supply of fresh water and shelter
to provide shade in hot weather and protection from the elements in
extremely cold winters. Because alpacas are gentle animals without any
means of protecting themselves, owners often use electric fencing, guard
llamas or a livestock guardian dog for protection against predators.
How
often are alpacas sheared and what can I do with the fiber?
Alpacas are sheared once a year, usually in the spring
before hot weather sets in. Each animal will produce at least five to eight pounds
of fleece a year. The fiber can be sold to cottage industries that
revolve around hand spinning and weaving -- it sells readily $2 to $6 an
ounce to local artisans -- or sent to a fiber co-op, such as the one
endorsed by the Alpaca Owners and Breeders Association (AOBA) which
provides a commercial outlet for all breeders. The newly formed Alpaca
Fiber Cooperative of North America (AFCNA) accepts fleece from its
members, and turns the precious textile into quality alpaca garments and
products. Members benefit from a ready outlet for their fiber, while the
cooperative works to increase awareness of and demand for this every day
luxury.
We are
currently sending a portion of our fiber to mini-mills to be machine
spun. The batches are separated by each animal -- therefore we know that
a particular yarn came from a certain alpaca.
I don't
have a livestock or medical background -- can I do this?
Yes, with the help of an experienced
breeder, a skilled veterinarian, and the desire to learn, you can do this. If you
do not desire a "hands-on" alpaca experience, you can choose to agist
(board) your alpacas on a breeding farm where they will receive excellent
daily care and vet services.
Please
email us
for more details.
How do I
find a qualified vet in my area?
We will be happy to help you locate a vet -- basically, it
is a process of asking other alpaca or llama owners in your area, checking
with established camelid vets in your state, checking with your regional
associations and interviewing candidates.
 Is there a good support
system for new owners and breeders?
Yes, excellent support is already in place through the
national organization (AOBA), regional associations, and established fiber
co-ops. You can also expect a high level of support from the breeder you
buy from, other owners and your own skilled vet.
Are
there attractive tax advantages to raising alpacas and how do I find out
which ones apply to me?
Raising alpacas at your own ranch for
profit can offer some very attractive tax advantages -- all the expenses
attributable to the endeavor can be written off against your income. If
you choose to lease and/or agist (board) your animals, many advantages
still apply. A helpful publication is the Farmers Tax Guide IRS
Publication 225, which is available from the Cooperative Extension or
online
from the IRS. Please click
HERE to view
a full copy of the investment and tax information as presented on the
website of the Alpaca Owners and Breeders Association (AOBA). We advise
you to seek the advice of your accountant to design an investment plan
that best suits your financial profile.
Can I
insure my alpacas?
Yes, alpacas can be fully insured against loss which
protects your investment.
