Boarding and Care

Boarding is a stepping stone for new owners, in which you house your alpacas on another person's land. It gives new owners the opportunity to ease into raising alpacas while gaining confidence and planning for their new farm. 

People seeking a change of lifestyle with farming or ranching often get their start through boarding. They can be people starting out in adult life together or people planning for retirement. They often see boarding as a stepping stone to a new future. One that allows them to build up stock in readiness for a launch into something bigger when they are ready.

Boarding is also an option for those who don't plan to own land or don't have the expertise or time to maintain a herd but wish to invest in alpacas for fleece and breeding purposes. The agreement between the farm owner and alpaca owner protects the alpaca owner's investment, making sure their alpacas are properly cared for.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At Alpenwood Alpacas we provide boarding for buyers who wish to own alpacas but do not have their farm in order or do not wish to own a farm at all, and perhaps, just wish to own an alpaca for investment considerations without the hands-on day-to-day care required.  We can provide a space for your specific needs at a very reasonable cost.  Together we can work out your particular boarding situation and alpaca ownership goals, while assuring that your investment is given excellent care.
