Our first top bloodline Peruvian huacaya
alpacas arrived in 2000. We wanted to avoid owning sheep,
but needed to have our land grazed whilst seeding with wild
flowers to recreate ancient type meadows. We now rotate alpacas,
horses, and "keep" sheep - as part of our management
plan. Since our first tentative steps, we have fallen in
love with these intelligent and charming creatures. Our herd
now numbers around 50 huacaya and suri alpacas, enough to
offer choice but with every animal getting individual care
and attention We started with little knowledge - but a great
willingness to learn! We have been on training and fleece
assessment courses and now pride ourselves on our handling
and husbandry techniques. We offer husbandry courses and
handling demonstrations to groups and on a one to one basis. |
