Greetings from Kansas, littlebluefarm, and

! I have seen a few folks on BYC mention their alpacas - not sure of there is a thread dedicated to it - but I wouldn't be surprised. You would most likely find it here https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/22/other-pets-livestock

Good luck to you and happy holidays.

Just chickens at the moment, but I'm thinking about getting some piglets in Spring. Used to have cows and sheep and lots of pigs. Farming's hard work, but I love it. I hear alpacas spit something terrible? That's about all I know about them LOL

For me it's chickens and ducks but adding turkeys and possibly two pigs in the spring. There are a few alpaca raisers in my area....for the wool or so I suppose.

alpaca do spit but I don't think they do it to humans unless they are being held in a manner they don't like but other than that they are suppose to be really good...and I hear they can make really good pets and can be trainable and guard the sheeps?
