Purchase of wethers may better fit the budget of many lifestylers when they begin their involvement with alpacas and is an attractive option when starting out. Many alpaca farmers began in this way only to find themselves captivated and soon the owners of several more!
The management of wethers is simpler than of females, obviously because the hassles of breeding and PMT don't come into it: keeping wethers may fit into your lifestyle more readily for this reason.
Wethers are good fleece growers as they do not have other stresses on their body such as mating , pregnancy and lactation and they tend to maintain their fleece qualities.
Our wethers are all halter trained and will make great pets and companion animals.
Animals are sold as wethers on the understanding that castration is carried out at the expense of alpacasRstyle when they reach the optimum age of 18 months.
