People pay to walk them? That last one is particularly interesting; why do people pay to walk our Alpacas?… Continue reading Treks are the best!
Keeping busy…
There is always plenty to do here at Treeside; whether its barn and paddock maintenance, animal health checks or paperwork, there are many jobs involved with keeping Alpacas or any animal.

Wellington: the bootiful one!
Wellington was one of the original four alpacas to join Treeside Alpacas back in 2005. He is cream/white with the most brilliant of topknots as can be seen in his photos below; he always seems to look down his nose at you, but thats just to see out from under his topknot! Before the alpacas… Continue reading Wellington: the bootiful one!
