Caring for your Alpacas

Alpacas as Guards for other Livestock

Alpacas can improve lambing and kidding percentages by 15 - 30 %. Alpacas are easy to care for. They do not require special feed, crutching or lice control and they are not prone to fly strike or foot rot. Alpaca wethers for use against foxes can be purchased for about $350 each and they pay for themselves very quickly. Usually one or two alpacas are needed per 40 hectares on flat open country and slightly more for hilly and heavily timbered country with up to 10 wethers per flock to control dingos or wild dogs.

Please discuss your requirements with us as each farm has different needs depending on their flock management practices.
