There is an Alpaca farm near to me, the owners have open days and are very informative.
All I know is that they are great for keeping foxes away from other livestock and cannot be kept alone, apparently they suffer if not kept in pairs/groups.
I could find out the name/contact details of the farm if you are want to ask them for advice.
