Silent Auction of Stud Services

Now Live! Please come here.

A major part of the Futurity funding is raised from the sale of kindly donated stud services. These services are offered for sale through an auction run on this website.

The stud male services offered for auction sale are part of the nomination procedure for the herd sires and offer an excellent opportunity for breeders to acquire services to some of the most successful sires in the country through an exciting bidding experience, and winning bids can be at prices less than normally available from the breeder’s farm.

~~The Silent Auction will open its doors and bidding will commence on 1st December 2008.~~
The Silent Auction is Now Live! Please come here.

For further details of available stud males please refer to this website at this time. The Futurity would welcome offers from all breeders who wish to support the Futurity event with their offer of stud services for the auction, regardless of whether the male was nominated. This is an excellent way of promoting your stud farm and your stud males by bringing winning clients on your farm. If you would like to offer your stud males for the auction, please complete the nomination form with the stud male details, but do not tick the nomination box.

Silent Auction Terms and Conditions
Stud services that are purchased through the British Alpaca Futurity internet based silent auction will be provided subject to the following Terms and Conditions to which the service providers have agreed and the purchasers are deemed to accept by participating in the auction: 1 The purchase of a stud service is on the basis of a drive-by service, wherein the purchaser will take the female to be mated to the location of the herd sire, wait whilst the service is done, and then take the female away. Pregnancy testing will be the responsibility of the female owner. Should other arrangements be made, the cost of any agistment of females is not included and will be charged, if applicable, at the current rates of the individual stud owner. Such information will be indicated on the website adjacent to the details of the stud male. 2 Although the service providers will endeavour to provide the very best of husbandry for all animals on their property, neither they nor Alpaca Futurity Ltd will accept any liability for loss or damage to the client female. All female alpacas kept on the stud owner’s property do so at their owner’s risk and owners should be aware that insurance for animals is their responsibility throughout. 3 The service provider reserves the right to use veterinary services as required. All veterinary costs incurred, including where applicable pregnancy diagnosis, will be met by the purchaser.	4 Stud service providers provide a guarantee of a live cria on the ground for 24 hours or a free return to service under the same terms as this agreement. No other guarantee is offered. 5 Mobile services or on farm services may be available but this will be through agreement with the individual stud service provider and will not form part of the purchase of the stud service at this auction. 6 Delivery and collection of females may be available but this will be through agreement with the individual stud service provider and will not form part of the purchase of the stud fee. 7 Where costs, as outlined above, are incurred they must be paid in full prior to the return of the animal. 8 All females must have been wormed within one week and at least 48 hrs prior to delivery for service. The purchaser of the stud service must ensure that any alpaca being sent for service is healthy, in good condition, has no more than one year’s growth of fibre and has not been in contact with any animals with a notifiable disease. The service provider reserves the right to decline to breed such female if in their opinion the alpaca is not in sufficient good health to be bred, and reserves the right to trim the fleece around the rear of the female to be bred if it is considered too long for efficient and safe mating. 8 This agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties unless expressly replaced by a new agreement in writing between the parties.
