Benefits of owning Alpacas (and why you should consider buying from us)

Having worked with horses whilst running a riding school, produced them from youngsters, reschooled problem horses as well as having worked at a racing yard, there is so much work and time involved. In addition, there is always a risk element which is one area where alpaca are so easy to deal with in comparison.

​

The preparation that goes into getting an alpaca show worthy is minimal compared to horses and other livestock. People of all ages and even those from non animal backgrounds can soon learn how to handle and look after alpacas with the right guidance .Producing alpaca for their fleece, to show or to keep as pets is fun and very rewarding .

Whethers (castrated males) are attractive pets who can also guard your chickens and sheep from small predators such as foxes. They will provide you with a fleece every year and can be easily trained to the halter. The boys in particular are very neat and tidy with poo piles that they will walk all the way across the paddock to get to rather than just poo on the spot.

​

Females can also be halter trained but not to be walked or bothered with if pregnant. They are popular for hobby breeders just to cover the costs along with the enjoyment of having cria to rear.

 

Alpaca can be a serious business/investment. Breeding quality alpaca to show and sell is becoming increasingly popular with great returns being made.

 

Alpaca fleece is luxurious, warm, hard wearing and very versatile. Alpaca fibre is very light and unlike sheep wool, it contains no lanolin so it is much finer and softer and is virtually hypo-allergenic so can be worn comfortably against the skin. The blanket (otherwise known as the firsts) is used for luxurious garments and home accessories whilst the 2nds and 3rds which come from the neck ,rump, legs and belly are great for stuffing quilt or pillows and even houses as insulation.

​

Other popular uses are:

​

- Needle Felting

- Dryer Balls

- Felt Soaps

 

Our reasons for purchasing alpaca to farm rather than the more traditional livestock is that we are not traditional! We would be useless at rearing animals which would ultimately aimed for a dinner plate.

​

Farming alpaca offers a unique lifestyle with numerous rewards with the added bonus of working with beautiful, fun, intelligent animals who literally steal your heart.

 

As a family, our only regret in buying Alpaca is that we didn’t do this sooner!
