           Part of the reason we have this web site is to promote our own beautiful animals. Come visit us when you can but you may wish to call ahead for an appointment so we can make sure we will be home.
 
   Getting Started on the Farm
           Everyone raising alpaca need to know what type of grass, fencing, shelter to maintain for their animals. Here are a number of articles and links detailing just that.
 
   Health
           When you need information on the health of your animals you need it right away or it may cause greater problems down the road. The best remedy for health concerns is to learn ahead of time what you can do should the occasion occur. Luckily we have strong animals which require little attention. Herein you will find links to Alabama veterinarians, articles on health, where to find the best food and grazing, how to supply fresh water, how to fiend off predators and much more. Alpacas in Alabama require a little different attention than those in Oregon so you will find attention to these details here as well.
 
   Insurance
           You need to protect your investment against disaster and there are many stories where having the animals and farms insured softened the hardship. Here are a few organizations that specialize in alpaca insurance.
