Hi Drumgerry

I love the look of them but if I told the missus I was thinking of getting one , (in fact getting anything else full stop) I would be in very deep water.
I'm surprised they are brave enough to chase foxes and such like they don't look like tough guys
We have had a fox problem but a £2000 guardian for the chickens might not go down too well with her indoors

also I didn't know they were sheared I just assumed they got combed or something
It must be a fair old job catching and shearing 30 of them

I see some of the alpacas are very valuable is that to do with the quality of their wooly coats ?
I expect it's not all just plain sailing though, do they have a lot of vet checks and health issues like horses

Thanks for the invite to see them
If I ever get over your way that would be great
How have they been getting on with the long winter?
