The vast majority of alpacas are sold privately, either through personal
knowledge of the breeder, or through the internet. Most individual farms
show only their sales prices, but on occasion a very special sale may be
available. For instance, one ranch recently sold 1/2 interest in one of
their herdsires for $750,000, making this the most valuable alpaca in the
country and has published this on their website.
The information below includes summaries of all of the auctions published on the
Celebrity Sales website.
Celebrity Sales manages many of the aplaca auctions across the country, and
publishes these results.
