A growing population
Alpacas are good grazers, don’t pug up the ground like cattle, and are nice animals to be around. Our skills in this field are ever expanding to keep pace with the growing population.
We often get alpacas brought into our clinic if they are halter trained. This is particularly useful for radiography or surgical cases.
