Our alpacas spend their days with our flock of rare breed sheep to protect their lambs from foxes. They bond with the flock that they are kept with and keep them safe from predators. This is what they are used for in their native countries.

Juliet has named he white one Ambrose, ('belonging to divine mortals') and the black alpaca is named Archie ('noble and truly bold').

Alpacas are originally from the Andes in Peru, Chile and Bolivia. They are members of the camelid family and are related to llamas. Alpaca wool is referred to as the ‘fibre of the gods’ - twice as strong, warmer and lighter than Marino wool.

Alpacas are efficient grazers and have a soft padded foot which causes minimal soil damage thus making them an environmentally friendly option.
