Alpacas

In my post, Alpaca Breeding or if at first you don’t succeed, I wrote about our foray into breeding our alpacas, specifically MacTavish’s “first time”.  We had a bit of a rough go at the beginning, with Mac not finding the right end of the girls, and then falling off once he did, poor Mac, but he finally got the hang of it and sired five gorgeous crias (baby alpacas).

Raising alpacas has been a true joy and a real adventure.  We started 5 years ago with 8 alpacas and currently have 30.  Along the way we bought a few, lost a few, and played midwife to 22 births.
