About Alpacas: Alpacas are gentle, tranquil animals. They are small, easy to maintain, and generally require only basic care. They are shorn once a year in the spring. Alpacas are ruminants, which means they chew cud like a cow. They survive well on different kinds of low protein hay or pasture grass, provided it has a balanced mineral content. Alpacas utilize their food more efficiently than other ruminants, most likely due to the harsh environmental conditions in which they evolved. Learn more at wikipedia.org
