You will hear a general overview of what is involved in looking after alpacas, including topics such as feeding, general welfare, parasite management, how many alpacas to an acre and what business opportunities there are.
There will be plenty of opportunities for questions during the session, so if you come with anything specific you want to know, there will be lots of chances to ask.
