Re: [Alpacasite] Older females

Hi Deborah,

It would not be impossible for such a female to have 5-6 more
breedings in her, if everything remains equal and the female has a
life expectancy of 20 years. That would presume that no issues come
up regarding failure to maintain weight as she gets older, etc. I
have personal knowledge of an alpaca female that gave birth at 24
years of age, then was no longer bred and lived to be almost 29 years
of age, documented.
