The Coolawarra Classic will offer for inspection

quality stock, male
and female,
young and mature, suited for showing
or use in an ET programme. They have been specifically
selected from
amongst the top
tier of stock from Coolaroo, Illawarra
and invited studs, all bred to SRS criteria of density,
fineness, length,
lustre and handle. Such is our confidence
in the quality of these
animals, and the interest they will
attract, that we are taking the unprecedented
step
of offering
them
mostly without
reserve.

Payment
All animals will have been unofficially "pre-screened" by
an independent Australian alpaca vet and alpaca judge to
comply with export screening protocols, but are offered as
is, and without guarantee, with money payable on the fall
