NEW BREEDERS

 

Ameripaca Philosophy   Alpacas are docile and quiet, easily trained and gentle around children.  They have a very strong herd orientation and are more intelligent than most farm animals.  Because of their soft pads and toenails (as opposed to hooves), they are earth friendly.  Their primary use is for fiber production. 

Alpacas are easy to care for and require less food than many other farm animals.  One acre of land can sustain 5 - 10 alpacas.  They stand about three feet tall and weigh on the average between 130 and 150 pounds.  Alpacas can live over 20 years and usually produce one offspring once a year.

 

We encourage all new alpaca owners or those researching alpacas to schedule a visit to our farm in Galesville, Maryland, 12 miles south of Annapolis.  You are under no obligation, and this is surely an excellent way to gain exposure to the alpaca lifestyle.  We simply request that you schedule an appointment to ensure that we have staff available to give you our undivided attention.
