HISTORY OF LANGATON ALPACAS

Set in the heart of the North Devon Countryside, Langaton Farm is regarded as one of the premier alpaca breeding and training centres in the South West

The gestation period for alpacas is approximately 11.5 months, with single births being the norm

That vital moment - what sex is it?

Alpacas are ideal animals to act as guardians to sheep, poultry and other stock and live happily with horses.

Alpaca fibre has long been prized for its qualities of softness and warmth - it is used to make high value knitwear and fabrics

Sorting fibre at shearing

Langaton Alpacas selectively breed alpacas with good conformation combined with the fleece characteristics of fineness and density ensuring their continued success in the show ring
