RE: [AlpacaTalk] Age

 

We had a rescue alpaca that had a healthy cria at 20 years old.  One of our herdsires jumped the fence!.  We found an old-folks alpaca farm in WA that took her when she was 21.  She was in good health with a body score of 4.5.

this year. She's very old and she suffered all winter from the cold.
Even at a full year's growth, she's only got 2" Poor old girl. But
she's got a great appetite, so she's not ready to go quite yet.

What is considered "very old"?
Thanks! Janice
