Grey Alpacas  Here at Hensting Alpacas we are very lucky to have 2 Grey Female Alpacas.  Little Eskkrig Koala is our 5 year old female who was mated to Inca Grey Flight in 2014 and on May 9th she had our first Grey Cria Hensting Sweet Rohana .  This Grey Alpaca  is what is know as a Tuxedo Grey because she has a white face, white bib and white front feet. Here she is with her mum, and I think you will agree she is stunning  Also did you know grey is a very rare colour for an alpaca only 5% are grey

Can Horses live with Alpacas Simple answer is yes! they get along really well.  We have a New Forest Pony called Bryn, now Bryn came to us when he was 13 months old, he came off of the New Forest, he was then castrated and wormed, pass ported and then sold to us within 2 weeks! He is a fully registered new forest and because we go him when he was so young, we have been able to work with him nice and early, but one thing stood out about Bryn was he was a kind hearted horse and very gentle. Here he is in with his beloved Alpacas.  What we find is in the mornings when we turn up to feed them, he is asleep and around him are the alpacas all cuddled up to him keeping each other warm. I have not seen any anger from him towards the alpacas, in fact I think he thinks he is now an alpaca This is Bryn in one of his training sessions with flick our trainer.  Both Bryn and my children Faith and Isaac are under training all together and coming along nicely. you can see more of the alpaca

Alpaca Farming alpaca farming here in the Uk seems to be about 10 years behind Austrailia.  We as a country are catching up we now have well over 50,000 alpacas and the thoughts are that once we get to 10,000 then an industry will from around us, meaning the fiber will start to be procesed on a larger scale.  You will then start to see it in your local shops like marks and Spencer or Debenahams.  Have a look at this call video from Austrailia all about Alpacas in ozz  

Intersting alpaca facts   Did you know the 3 main things that Alpacas can bring to man? well here they are 1 the fleece it is hypoallergenic and incredably soft the fleec micron can go down as fine as 14 microns! there is also no lanalin in the fleece unlike sheep this makes it easy to proccess.  Next the meat, the meat is very lean at about o.5% fat. then finally the poo, this poo comes from 3 stomachs and is really rotted down, you can catch the stuff as it comes out of the animal put a seed in it and it will grow!, but not only that the incas would mix it with water dry it in the sun into brick form then burn it on the fires in the winter and burns just as long and just  as hot as cole! and if you would like to learn more I have a great link on our website Alpaca Facts then go ever to the main site that has a really cool infographic aobut alpacas
