The Male Sale 2008

The Southwest Regional Alpaca Show has a 'Male Sale' at the show that receives rave reviews every year. What a great opportunity to bring along a male alpaca (he could be entered to show, or not even in the show) and give him exposure to potential buyers.

In past years boys sold at prices from $1000 to $25,000, so this is a great way to sell males at any price. Many of the boys offered in the Male Sale are SOLD at the show and we have heard that owners also received calls from potential customers long after the show was over! The Male Sale catalog can be a reference for potential buyers long after the show ends.

• Your male-for-sale will get to stand out at the show while wearing a male-for-sale tag and having a male-for-sale sign on his stall - and of course, you can provide promotional material on him at your stall. The "I'm For Sale" tag should be returned to ABA at the end of the show.
• Entrants can be intact or gelded; they can be sold with or without a reproductive warranty.
• Entrants do not have to be entered in show classes to participate in the Male Sale. They do need to be present at the show.
• Entrants are to be sold with the seller's guarantee of health as of the date of the sale. Any other guarantees (such as reproductive soundness, fertility, etc.) are to be by private arrangement between the parties.
• Entrants must carry written evidence of good health, defined as an interstate travel certificate signed by a licensed veterinarian within 30 days prior to the last day of the show. Males-for-sale will go through the same Vet Check to come into the show arena that all halter show entries do.
• Entrants must be microchipped and the chip number must be written on their health certificate.
• Entrants are required to be ARI registered. A copy of the Male's ARI certificate must be provided along with your show registration.
• The male for sale must be six months of age at the time of the sale in order for our show to retain its AOBA certification.
• Show management will prepare a Male Sale Catalog based on photo and information provided by the seller that will be available to all show participants and the public audience at the show. Photos will be rendered in black & white for the catalog.
• Show management will provide Buyer and Seller with copies of the Alpaca Breeders of Arizona non-reproductive Alpaca Purchase Contract (ABA recommends that the parties of the sale use this contract or a more restrictive one of their choosing. ABA accepts no responsibility for any issues arising out of the sponsorship of the Male Sale.)
• The cost to enter an alpaca in the Male Sale is only $50 for alpacas priced under $2500 and $75 for alpacas priced $2500 and up. There is no limit on the asking price.
