Camelids - Alpacas and Llamas

These types of animal have been profitable in the early years after introduction for those rearing breeding stock, but we are not sure about future profitability if they were reared solely for their specialist wools.
Camelids are excellent protectors of sheep with whom they identify and will kick predators to death; especially foxes and dogs! We are told that for this purpose you must use only a solitary camelid, otherwise they tend to concentrate on their other passions and leave the sheep to their fate!
