Alpaca Wethers

Alpacas have a wonderful track record for protecting young stock against predation - particularly against foxes.  They have been very successfully used to protect lambs, calves, goats and even poultry.
Alpacas VicWest members can supply wethers to support your enterprise and protect your stock.
For information about wethers available for sale in your area please contact
Lauris Jephcott  (03) 5235 9208 or
