HELP SAVE YOUR LAMBS
ALPACA WETHERS AS FLOCK PROTECTORS

Adult wethered alpacas are proving to be a valuable asset to have around when lambing season is here.  They are not only useful to guard against foxes, but have been observed taking lost lambs back to their mothers and sitting with sick or stranded lambs.  Other duties such as warding off other intruders into the paddocks, including kangaroos and birds are being reported as observations of guard alpacas continue. 

Lambing losses may be improved by up to at least 70%!  One farmer this year has reported that last season, without alpacas, he lost between 70-80 lambs to foxes.  This season he has lost 18.  He is a very happy farmer! 

Another has reported that a couple of foxes have been seen outside the fence line, but not inside the paddocks where alpacas reside.  

It is recommended that alpacas be introduced to the flock at least two weeks prior to commencement of lambing, and that they stay with the flock for at least 3 months. 

With the prices commanded for lambs at the moment, it is worth considering the use of these intelligent, highly alert, lovable animals to watch over your sheep. 

We offer a hiring service of alpacas, whereby you hire them, we deliver and pick up, look after them when you don’t need them, and bring them back to you shorn, drenched and ready to go again next lambing season!
