Alpacas - The Sustainable Lifestyle Choice

Hello from Peter and Jacquie Watson, and welcome to South West Alpacas. We decided to set up an alpaca farm when we moved to our 27-acre smallholding in Devon some years ago. We looked at more conventional livestock options, such as sheep and cattle, but saw a lot of problems compared with the apparent attractions of buying alpacas. Then we saw some beautiful alpacas for sale, and just couldn't resist!

We have been running our alpaca farm in Devon for over 10 years now, and think we know a least a bit about alpacas. So please do feel free to contact us directly if you would like to find out more about buying alpacas and breeding alpacas as a sustainable alternative to conventional farming methods. We welcome visitors to our alpaca farm to see some of the friendliest alpacas in Devon, if not the whole UK ! We also have a good selection of alpacas for sale.

"If only we knew then what we know now!"

We bought our first alpacas in Devon nearly a decade ago. Recently, International Camelid Quarterly asked us to write an introductory article on setting up and managing a small herd for people just starting out. A good primer if you're thinking about buying alpacas, and want to know what is involved in running an alpaca farm.
