NEW BREEDERS
 |
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. |
