Alpaca Workshops

ALPACA WORKSHOPS

Gumnut Valley Alpacas is offering free workshops to those interested in alpacas and those who already have alpacas but unsure about their care needs. These mini workshops run for an hour with the option to attend one or both workshops.

We provide a complimentary morning tea in between sessions and there is an opportunity to meet some of our gorgeous alpacas for sale. We have a range of pets, guards, lawn mowers, breeders and wethers available.

Introduction to Alpacas Workshop

This workshop is designed for potential alpaca buyers and covers everything from the history of alpacas to paddock set up, handling, haltering and moving alpacas, feeding requirements and general healthcare.

Husbandry Workshop

This workshop is tailored to new alpaca owners and provides information about halter training, body scoring, worm management, vaccines and supplements, shearing, mating and wound care with demonstrations of toenail clipping, subcutaneous and intramuscular injections and oral drenching

Please note that our workshops are offered free of charge to genuinely interested people living on acreage and there is no obligation to buy from us. We have taken in far too many neglected and unwanted alpacas in the past 18 months and would rather use our time educating people than rescuing another poor animal.
