SHELTER & STOCKING

Stocking rate of alpacas is 5-10 per acre depending on the grass and if you are planning on poo picking (yes it is a thing, check out poovers).

Fencing – alpacas generally do not challenge fencing and can be kept in with 4ft sheep wire with no barbed wire. Although if boys and girls are adjacent we would recommend a strong divide.

Alpacas can live outside all year round but they do need a shed to protect from hot or cold weather.
