We began boarding Alpacas 1999

We still have a few boarders on the farm but we are finding with our bigger herd and the high bio security measures that we have in place we would like to only do boarding for our clients if they need this extra service.

As normally with any sale we automatically include 4 months of the Basic fee in our prices.

* Basic Boarding fee's will vary on amount of alpacas in a group.
1 - 5 alpacas is $ 2.00/day/alpaca.
4 - 10 alpacas is $ 1.50/day/alpaca.
over 10 is $ 1.25/day/alpaca

* Included in the basic fee is feed, normal routine of inoculations - tasvax 8-way, ivomec, vitamin A and D,
selenium and vitamin E, etc.,trimming of toes, and checking of normalities, weight, teeth, shelter.
Vet fee's are not included in the basic fee.

* Alpacas under the age of 5 months are not charged boarding fee's (while still with the dam)

* Birthing out rate is $ 50.00 per cria, which does include all of the cria's first shots.

* Shearing is done by Backyard (unless specified),charges are $20.00/alpaca.

* Extra rates only apply if alpaca needs extra due care e.g. vet fee's, our time for extra care, etc

* Backyard Alpacas will also market your alpacas for you ( for a percentage) if you wish while they are on our farm. We advertise effectively through the web, Camelid Quarterly Magazine, through our own Farm, Radio and much more.

We are proud of our facilities, covering a total of 24 acres. We have a standard 11 pens that can be broken down if needed for more separation. Our alpacas enjoy fresh water from our heated waterers, lots of room to run, the Main "Barn" (top picture) is 55' X 80' and is used all year round for the females and cria. On top of this each pen has its own three sided shelter(s), plus we have a insulated, heated barn for any winter emergency.
