Alpaca Care for Beginners: We Walk You Through It.

At the VAOBA show we met some wonderful people, who I am proud to call friends. Tom and Kate Perez have got to be two of the most knowledgable and easy to talk to people in the alpaca business. We were impressed by Kate's 101 presentation and the amount of information we recieved from them in a short amount of time. You may never get the pleasure of meeting the Perez family, but you can also soak up some of their vast knowledge by buying their video Alpaca Care for Beginners: We Walk You Through It. The video was produced by Mt Airy Alpaca Company and Alpacas of Sunset Fields.

This video is an absolute must for those considering buying alpacas and new alpaca owners. We had our alpacas for almost a year and still learned a tremendous amount from this video. The video is very detailed and encompasses their years of alpaca experience. Some of the things in the video were the "can't do without" kind of information that is found other places. However, this video compiles it ALL nicely. Some of the information in the video would go into the category "why reinvent the wheel--they have tried it and it works" and then other information comes in the category "oh, if I had gotten out of my box, I would seen that, but thanks for kicking me out of the box".

The video covered shearing, medication, breeding, birthing, food issues, and all around general care. It is well worth every penny and can save you from making costly mistakes.

I hope you will take a moment to visit their site and get other reviews of Alpaca Care for Beginners: We Walk You Through It.
