The Alpaca Open Day Sunday 27th July
Alpaca Open Day Sunday 27th July 11am-4 pm
Alpacas are among the more unusual domestic livestock in the world and they were truly the stars of the show at the Produced In Norfolk Norwich Exhibition last Easter
A paddock full of these animals is truly a sight to behold..
Because they are not bred for their meat they are not an animal destined for slaughter; if well looked after, can live for over 20years. They are intelligent and in most part, non-aggressive and therefore easy to train. Inquisitive but shy, gregarious and extremely affectionate when well cared for and accustomed to their handler. They communicate with each other by humming and make the most amazing of their big eyes with very long eyelashes. .
Coming in 22 natural colours in more than 200 shades ranging from white to beige, through to black the need to dye the fleece is lessened. Being free of lanolin, the processing of the raw fibre is relatively easy without the use of harsh chemicals
AzSu is situated in deepest Norfolk on a farm of about 55 acres. The Alpacas fit very well into the East Anglian landscape. The beauty and allure of these animals is indescribable, each with its own specific features, character and mannerisms.
On Sunday there is a special chance to learn more about these adoring creatures and the stunning farm on which they live; refreshments and local crafts people will also be there to make a great day for all the family.
