The Alpaca Handbook is the essential guide to raising, feeding, breeding, selling, and enjoying alpacas on the farm-whether you're raising them for fun or for profit. In this book, you'll learn everything you need to know to become a successful alpaca owner. With advice and real-world experience, Rebecca Gill of Cotton Creek Farms guides you in:
• Setting up your shelter, fencing, and food source • Buying, breeding, and selling alpacas • Understanding and influencing alpaca behavior • Taking care of herd health and medical needs • Delivering healthy, happy crias • Profiting from fiber, agritourism, and farm stores • Involving youth in 4-H and alpaca shows • And more!
Not only will you gain knowledge about keeping alpacas through every stage of their lives, you'll also be able to create a happy, healthy home for your alpaca herd and avoid the classic mistakes that prohibit many alpaca owners from living the lifestyle they want.
