Yes, this. Look the alpacas have cute hairdos.

I am so sorry your alpacas got attacked and killed. We have Nubian milk goats and multiple times have had attacks by dogs that are not properly restrained. Even with double fencing we have had goats and babies killed or necks bitten and utters ripped.

We have started a new herd with 3 and are expecting cira (babies ) in just a few weeks. We shear the alpacas & I have the wool made into batting for my quilts. They are such wonderful animals & easy to take care of. Love my babies.
