Alpacas need to be shorn annually – usually done during spring or right before summer, to allow enough time for fleece to grow back before winter.
Alpacas do not have a breeding season, as the females are induced ovulators. Provided they are receptive, females can be mated at any time of the year.
SAABS will put you in touch with members providing high-quality stud males, and assist you with the selection to complement your breeding program.
Alpacas are stoic, which means that they will try to hide the symptoms of any injury or illness. Knowing what to look out for makes diagnosis far easier.
