Purely by accident I came across this article in Stoud News & Journal Local Company given a licence to Sell Alpaca Meat!! I am absolutely horrified!!
How could any alpaca breeder say there alpacas is not suitable for breeding and sell them to be slaughtered and sold for eating!!
One of the main reasons I went into breeding alpacas was the fact I didnt need to breed for slaughter!!
COTSWOLD VALE ALPACAS is a family business, breeding quality Huacaya and Suri Alpacas. After gaining planning permision to live on our land, we are now living our dream. Welcome to our blog which follows our day to day lives, ups and downs as we follow our dream to live on our smallholding and breed some gorgeous alpacas.

Busy, Busy, Busy and Time flys By!
Another very busy week with very little time to stop and blog!
We had our very first Craft Fayre on Sunday with mixed results! For the very first time we took two of our boys out to meet the public and to sell some of our alpaca hand-made items.
We took Cosmo and Ewen who are two of our stud males, they were amazing and so well behaved, lots of people enjoyed getting up close and personal to the boys and enjoyed having a feel of their fleece.
There were lots of people enjoying a sunny day out, but not too many people buying, I did ok selling two of my felted bags and several smaller items, but my sister and many of the other stall holders didn't have many sales :-(
Here is a photo of Cosmo with one of his many admirers, Jayne is a very huge fan of Alpacas.
Our next trip out will be on 3rd September to a Charity Fun Day, so we are looking forward to this.
We had some lovely visitors yesterday who came along to meet the Alpacas and look at their fleece, I am sure they enjoyed their visit and went home with a gorgeous fleece, I know they will enjoy spinning it and make some lovely items from it. For more about their visit you can go to: Lucy 'in the Sky' - "A Real Alpaca Adventure" where Lucy has done a brilliant account with photos of their visit to Cotswold Vale Alpacas.
Well I must get back to work down on the Alpaca Farm so until next time, bye for now.
