Paca Talk #24 — Alpacas 101 - Choosing Your First Alpacas, Part 2
How does a novice alpaca owner choose the right animals to buy?
In this podcast, we consider things like:
- fleece animal qualities (fiber boys)
- breeding stock qualities
- show stock qualities
- the importance of conformation and fleece
- the concept of “breeding up” a female
- why you don’t need a stud (but might want to buy one, anyway)
Here is a list of the alpacas we mentioned in the show with links to their pages on our website www.etfarms.com:
Consuella and her kids demonstrate the concept of “breeding up”:
Consuella + Tocto
Consuella + Peruvian Canadar
Consuella + El Barto
Consuella + El Barto
