Docile yet inquisitive – alpaca have captured people’s hearts for centuries. They are characterised by their long neck and legs, pointed ears and often a thick woolly coat which can vary in colour from brown and black right through to pale yellow or white.
We have two alpacas here at Goodheart Farm Animal Sanctuary – Alan and Alfie! Full of energy and curiosity, these boys are an absolute joy to be around. Watch the video to learn more about their new life!
When a very woolly Alfie and Alan first arrived, they were keen to explore their new home. Our herd of sheep, however, we not so sure about this new arrangement! Over time the boys have settled in seamlessly and now enjoy peaceful days with their sheep friends.
Alpacas have a natural life span of between 15 and 20 years.
Our two resident alpacas – Alan and Alfie – used to live at a local retirement home and were very much loved by residents and staff alike. However, the premises didn’t have quite the right facilities for these boys, so they came to live with us.
Convinced that they are in fact sheep, not alpaca, Alan and Alfie have bonded closely with our flock of elderly ewes and can usually be found grazing the fields or enjoying an afternoon nap in the grass.
