Bought some Alpacas

Woo another baby!

Mother and baby. The mother is the surviving original one, so good to see her come and around and keep a pregnancy full term.




Bad photo but that's the other baby with her. Grown a fair bit!




Mother and babay again




And the heard.

Yay well done!

How many can you cope with. Seem like they breed quite well?!

[campionissimo]

is there any advantage of alpacas over sheep? or is it just the cuteness factor?

Probably sell two or three in 18 months or so. The new born is a male. We have a father and son currently and we don't think they'll all get on in a few years.

As for Alpacas vs sheep. We fancied the alpacas I guess. Slightly better to foxes and other dogs.
Fly strike and footrot affects sheep but not alpacas. Nice to be a bit different.

I linked them from Google photos. Maybe a Google account is required. I'll sort it when I load up my pc.
