RE: [AlpacaTalk] Question for alpaca owners

 

Ellie:

 

As you can see from the answers you got, alpacas are both grazers and browsers.  They are much more willing to graze that a goat is, but they will certainly go after a good bush or tree if they can find one.  They are also not like cows who will push aside a good bush to get the grass under it.

For a book I'm doing to Alpha Publishers I want to compare ruminants as to their food preferences (apart from what they're fed in domisticity)    Are alpacas grazers or browsers?   Many thanks. Ellie
