 Our
decision was made, we loved these gentle, intelligent and
inquisitive creatures. They are truly a pleasure to be around.
We purchased three females with sound genetics from Fallowfield, two
of our girls pregnant to Houghton King their award winning stud
male.
The hard work began we built our own
field shelters and fenced the paddock. The whole family helped and
we took advice from Mike Douglas about lay outs this made handling
and husbandry much easier. |
It all began with a
visit to a local agricultural show. George asked the question what
would you like for your 50th birthday.
Our journey began we enrolled on a course to teach us
the basics. Fallowfield alpacas ran by Melanie and Mike Douglas had
the perfect course tailored to all levels of ability. This was a fun
day with hands on training and covered all the basics of alpaca care.
My
next birthday saw the arrival Gracia and her cria Hugo again
purchased from Fallowfield.
