Our Alpacas

At Hideaway Wood Farm our focus is on breeding and caring for healthy, happy alpacas in a natural and respectful way.

​

We have a herd of 35 alpacas, many of which were born here on the farm and we know each of our animals individually.

​

In terms of breeding, our focus is not on breeding for particularly desirable traits as we know the trends are always changing and that some traits can end up not being the best for the health of our alpacas. Instead we breed our animals with a focus on them being healthy, behaviourally well natured and with good conformation that will support their health and longevity.

​

In recent years we have bred from our 'grey' stud Phineas and welcomed many patchy, grey and multi cria to our herd.

​

We made the transition to CameliDynamics handling and training for our whole herd in late 2024.

​​

And in terms of husbandry we are always seeking to incorporate more natural ways of taking care of our alpacas, removing unnecessary chemicals and supporting them through natural treatments and remedies wherever possible.
