ALPACA LIBRARY AND NEWS

Welcome to our reference center of news and eductional information about alpacas. We are hoping to give alpaca farms and alpaca breeders all over the US a useful resource center. We have the Alpaca News Center where we pull news about alpacas published each day in the media. These can be anything from lifetsyle through to industry news. Our Alpaca Library is an accumulation of articles, papers or published sources about alpacas from husbandry to breeding, genetics and history. We have BIG plans for this library but right now its a work in progress so please be patient until we add more articles.

Simply click on the required article title, and the item will appear in a new window. Our articles are stored in PDF format. Clicking on a column heading will sort the articles by that field.
