Yes. They are small and easy livestock to maintain. Basic shelter is required to provide them with protection from heat in the summer and freezing temperatures and winds in the winter. High fences are a good idea to keep predators out. Alpacas themselves, do not challenge fences. To make pen cleanup easy, they have a common dung pile. Yearly vaccinations and deworming are required An adult alpaca requires 2 or 3 small hay bales ( 50#) per month to maintain proper weight,health,and growth requirements.
