Show ring handling and transport to shows: Fischer Farm will handle
your alpaca in the show ring for you! Kathy is an avid student of animal behavior. In addition she has attended numerous handling classes, led by well known and respected judges, and Marty McGee Bennett! Kathy is able to present your alpaca in its best light in the show ring! She has experience handling numerous alpacas, of all temperaments, in the ring, including the Color Championship ring! Fischer Farm also offers transport of your alpaca(s) to and from the show, and care for them during the show. Fischer Farm *may* also provide digital photos of your alpaca showing off, and videos *may* be available as well! (See note below regarding availability) Show Handling fee: No charge for handling in the showing, we are glad to help out. Transport
costs: Stalls: If we show your alpaca for you, we will need to reserve stall space for your alpaca(s) at the time we register for the show. (You will still need to register your alpaca(s) for the show, just don't get stall space) This way your alpacas will be stalled in pens next to ours so we can care for them. You will be responsible for the stall fees for your alpacas, and we ask that the stall fee be paid up front at the time we register for the show. Show Care fee: There is a $25.00 per alpaca fee for alpacas that we care for at the show. This fee covers daily care while at the show, such as fresh water, feed/pellets, walks and multiple poop scooping detail. This fee is waived for alpacas purchased from Fischer Farm LLC Alpacas Video taping of showing: $75 for a video clip on CD or DVD (up to 20 minutes) Transport
requirements: Digital
photos and video taping availability depends on if my photographer
(Chris) is traveling with me! |

We are committed to alpacas. It doesn't matter if they are ours or yours, or the farm down the street. All alpacas at Fischer Farm will be treated with respect, handled with patience and understanding, and provided with the highest quality care. Listed below are just some of the highlights of what we have to offer:
Fischer Farm offers individual, wide runs for young males, young females, late gestating, and lactating Moms, and separation for herdsires that need their space! We provide automatic heated waterers, and separate water buckets with electrolytes when needed. Dynamite pellets are offered up to twice daily if requested. Alpacas are separated into smaller groups, and solitude where necessary for pellet feedings. Our grass hay is analyzed to be sure it meets nutritional requirements, and alfalfa is available upon request. And all alpacas get their turn to stretch their legs and pronk in our pastures. Fischer Farm's "nursery" barn is large and strong and can be completely enclosed should the weather take a turn for the worse. Plenty of feeders are provided in the barn, and fresh straw is put down when needed for extra warmth. Cameras monitor the inside of the "nursery" barn, just outside of the "nursery" barn, and also down the runs. The cameras pictures are uploaded to our website, and updated every 20 seconds, so you can check on your Mom's and crias while in the comfort of your home or office. Fischer Farm provides email updates, and/or phone call updates, and we respond to email within 24 hours. We can also provide photos when requested. And, visits are always welcome! Colorado
State University Veterinary Hospital is only 50 minutes from us,
and we have the phone numbers, along with our Vet's phone numbers
posted on our refrigerator, in our barn, and in our cell phones.
We have some of the best Camelid Vets available in our area. |

Fischer Farm periodically offers educational classes/seminars at our farm. Although these classes are open to everyone, our customers get to sign up first, and receive a 10% discount on the classes that we need to charge for (we don't charge for all classes). Class topics include (but are not limited to):
If there is a topic not listed that you are interested in, please let us know! Watch our
"Upcoming Events" page for
notices of upcoming classes/seminars, or, email us your email address
and we will send you notices of upcoming classes/seminars. |

We are committed to our alpacas, to their health and well being. And we are dedicated to you, our customers. We remember when we first started out and all the questions we had. We remember that most of our questions didn't emerge until well after we had our alpacas home, and were caring for them ourselves. We were lucky in that we had a small handful of people that we could call, day or night, with any questions and/or concerns. Just knowing that you have someone available should situations arise where you are uncertain is invaluable. We will be there to help guide you through any uncertain situations that may arise. We will also offer classes/seminars to help our customers learn and further their experiences. These classes will be held periodically throughout the year, or, specific classes/topics can be requested and scheduled to fit your needs. Bottom
line is we care about alpacas, and we care about you. We will do
as much as we can to help you to succeed and to share your lives
with very happy, healthy alpacas! |

If you lose a cria sired by a Fischer Farm herdsire, within 30 days after the birth date, Fischer Farm will provide you another breeding to *any* Fischer Farm Herdsire, with the female of your choosing (does not have to be the same female in the original contract). Fischer Farm will provide you 1 year from the birth date of the deceased cria to use this breeding. We've lost
crias, and know that it is a terrible experience. Hopefully by providing
plenty of options for a re-breed, we will make things a bit easier
for you. |
|
Maiden
females, and Junior herdsires come with a reproductive guarantee.
If you purchase an un-proven (virgin) alpaca from us that is sold
for the purpose of breeding, and this alpaca is incapable of reproducing,
Fischer Farm will replace the alpaca with another alpaca of the
same value. Please see our contract for more specific details. |
|
If the
cria produced from the originally purchased Fischer Farm Herdsire
service is a male, then you are entitled to another breeding to
try for a female, and you get to keep the male cria! This
offer is only good for the female in the original herdsire service
contract, and only for the herdsire in the original herdsire service
contract. |

Dear Kathy & Chris: I want to express my sincere thanks for all the wonderful service that you have provided both to me, and my alpacas. From our initial contact through the birth of Fischer's Lady Victoria (Tori) you have been very informative and responsive, no matter how minor the question or detail. I am fortunate as a first time buyer to have found Fischer Farm Alpacas. It was overwhelmingly clear early on how committed and dedicated you are to both the Alpacas and your customers. A lot of exciting things have happened since I purchased Shezaten (Ten) and Shazam from you. I came back to Missouri to purchase a home and get it ready for them. The Alpacas remained in Colorado agisting with you at Fischer Farm. You entered Shazam's fleece in a show for me and it took second place. Then you represented me and showed Shazam in his first show in Colorado. You were as excited as I was when he won his first blue ribbon. Then of course, Shezaten gave birth to the most beautiful 21.3 lb. black female cria (Tori) I have ever seen. You and Chris were right there by Ten's side taking care of her, and Tori when she arrived. Ten and Tori are doing great and I get to watch them everyday via your web cam! The last three months have been a fantastic experience for me! Chris and Kathy your customer satisfaction and dedication to the alpaca's care is nothing less than EXCELLENT! I look forward to bringing Shezaten, Tori and Shazam to their new home in March. It has been a sincere pleasure working with you both. I look forward to doing many years of business with Fischer Farm in the future. Thank you again for the fantastic experience! Robyn

Ken
and Reva Gee I have contracted with Fischer Farm to transport, stall, and handle my finest show alpacas on several occasions. In every case, Kathy and Chris have provided prompt, safe service which met my expectations in every way. They have been deeply concerned with providing an excellent service at a fair price. To top it off, my alpacas have repeatedly taken ribbons under the Fischer's management. I'm a very satisfied repeat customer. Steve Salter
Thank you
again,
