Ready to began your alpaca adventure? Here are some thing that will help you become successful. Let’s start with tools for good animal husbandry, because there is nothing more important than a healthy herd.
Farm Supplies – these are the basics
- Shelter for alpacas – so they can get out of the rain, wind and cold.
- Heated water system – look around, there are a lot of options.
- Wheelbarrow – two wheeled is the best
- Leaf rake – small spaces between the tines works best
- Large flat shovel – you might need a few different kinds, depending on your flooring.
- Large dog scale – doesn’t need to be top of the line
- Halters and leads – these make it easy to move your animals around
- Grain storage bins – metal seems to work best. Locking lids are also good.
- Covered area to store hay – alpacas can get very sick if they eat moldy hay.
