Mentoring After the Sale -
To us, the most important aspect of the sale is the service after the sale. Don't buy your alpacas from a farm going out
of business, or from someone who doesn't offer a health guarantee. You will have questions after the sale; or
your animals could have health challenges that will need to be dealt with. When you purchase alpacas from Sandollar
Farms & Alpacas, we will come along side you for as long as
you wish, teaching and advising about their care, and answering any questions
you might have. You say you didn't purchase your alpacas from us but you
have questions? Give us a call; we will be happy to help!
