Griffonwood Alpacas
Attention:  Bill Leslie

Brooksville, FL 34602

Dear Bill & Sherry:

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for inviting me to last week’s
National Alpaca Day held at Griffonwood.  What a fun day!!  I had the
opportunity to meet several of your current customers and new ones who are
interested in making an Alpaca investment.

As I was talking with potential customers who might want to invest in the
Alpaca market, several ask me why I chose to buy my stock from
Griffonwood.  I told them for several important reasons:

Quality livestock (bloodlines), maintenance of property (Griffonwood is
very clean and disease free) and secure (all pastures are very secure from
predators).

Griffonwood is easy to visit, located a few miles from both Tampa and
Orlando.

Animal care.  Both Bill and Sherry are excellent at maintaining the health
of their herd and have necessary Veterinarian assistance if required.  Very
knowledgeable of Alpaca care.

Help AFTER the sale.  Both Bill and Sherry have provided me with answers to
my many questions and are serving as my mentor until I move my stock to my
farm.  Bill and Sherry offer guidance in animal care, financial management,
marketing and preparing your stock for the Alpaca show ring.

Excellent financial incentives (Veteran discount, reasonable agisting fees
and purchase packages) to aid the new Alpaca investor.   Will negotiate
fair stock prices.

Please feel free to have any potential customer call me as a reference when
making their Alpaca purchase decision.

The young cria I purchased last March (Canto Gipetti Yuma) is growing up
and of course is just gorgeous!  I hope to have him in the show ring later
this year.

Thank you both for the wonderful assistance you and your staff have
provided me in gaining additional Alpaca  knowledge.

Have a great week!

Regards,

Bill and Sherry,

We would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for your support
over the years. We could not have picked a better farm then Griffonwood to
buy our alpacas. You took great care of our alpacas when they were on your
farm. Sherry, not everyone would sell customers alpacas before his or her
own like you but we are sure glad you did it for us. We really appreciated
the welcome feeling you gave us as well as all of the lunches on our farm
visit to see our girls. When we got the farm and brought them home here to
Sweetwater, TN, we were only a little afraid because we knew that you would
be only a phone call away. Bill, thank you for not laughing at me while I
was dealing with Florida and the birth of Sir Iven it was a very exciting
morning. You both have made us feel that no question is too silly to ask
and for that, we are grateful. We know that we will pass along the
knowledge and care to our customers that you give to the Alpaca community
and us. We could make a long list of things that you have done for us
beyond the promises you made to us in our purchase contract and for that we
truly thank you. We wish you continued success in the alpaca business.

Dear Bill and Sherry,

There aren't many people that we can count on to always be available to
answer our questions and give advice when we have problems or issues with
our alpacas.  Your advice and guidance has always been "spot on".  When we
had our first farm birth go wrong at 10:00 at night, you coached us through
it and dam and cria both survived and are doing great.

This is in addition to all the other benefits we have gained.  Your animals
are absolutely beautiful.  We couldn't be happier with our purchase of
Desiree and half interest in Doc Holiday.  Doc is certainly going to be the
big stud muffin around here.  

We feel very fortunate to count you guys as friends and look forward to a
rewarding partnership with your farm.
