Drive By Breedings: Transport your female alpaca(s) to Northwest Alpacas to mate with one of our Studmaster™ males and then transport them back to your farm.

The advantages of drive by breedings are:

1. The female and her cria are at the breeding farm for 2 days maximum.
2. The mating enjoys the same benefits of hand or pen mating.
3. The female and her cria endure less stress during a critical time.
4. There is a 20% Drive By discount on the normal stud fee.

The requirements for a successful drive by breeding are:

1. The female must be at the correct point in her follicular cycle, in other words she must be receptive to the male.
2. A teaser male can be used to test the female's receptivity one day before the mobile mating. Do not use a teaser male any sooner than twenty-four hours before the actual breeding because the female might ovulate and become non-receptive thereby wasting your time and travel.

The respective responsibilities of the drive by breeding parties are:

1. Dam owner must complete the service agreement and drive by checklist prior to arrival at Northwest Alpacas.
2. The owner of the female is responsible for establishing the pregnancy confirmation. Matings with receptive females result in a confirmed pregnancy after one mating, 65 - 70% of the time. This success ratio is higher.
for females that have just birthed a cria and a little lower for maiden females.
3. The stud owner makes a Studmaster male available for repeat breedings if necessary, at no additional charge.
4. Live birth guarantee.
