Raising Alpacas offers a country lifestyle with many benefits and opportunities to involve the whole family. These intelligent animals reward you with relaxation through their calm and gentle nature, and with fun by observing their social behaviour and distinct individuality. Touching their soft, silky and cashmere like fleece is a sensation in itself.

There are many more reasons to raise these endearing creatures...
