[AlpacaTalk] Re: Horses and Alpacas?

Mark & Tracy, Not everyone that has alpacas has lovely green grass all
year long! We live in West Texas and Arizona before that with our
alpacas and have never had lush grass to let them graze. Right now our
five acres has green because we've had a tremendous amount of rain this
year. Usually though the "greens" are supplemental and the orchard
grass hay is their regular diet.

There are a lot of alpaca farms in both Washington and Ohio states
where it is nice and lush green, but it doesn't have to be that way in
order to raise alpacas.

As far as horses and alpacas together? The risk of an alpaca getting
kicked and injured by an alpaca would be the first consideration.
Don't put them in jeopardy if they don't have to be. Secondly, keeping
alpacas away from other livestock seems to help avoid any unwanted
sickness. This doesn't mean that they can't be near any other animals,
just safely separated so that they all remain healthy and happy.
