Alpacas are generally kept for protection of other animals and for the fur, like sheep. I joke with my wife that we should have an alpaca farm. She is not for it at all.

Alpaca manure can also be applied "hot" to your garden for fertilizer

predators are enormously abundant in pacific NW , cougars, wolves, coyotes, bears , every kind of bird of prey. My folks will not raise any small farm animals b/c of this and they even lose a dog every few years.
with some research i see Lamma's, dog's, and guard donkeys. lol
dogs are a given but donkeys realy intrigue me, strong front hoof and rear attacks , and they protect flocks according to some of the articles .
I wonder if a dog/donkey 1-2 battery would be a decent livestock protector combo.
I know a few folks that have guard donkeys. They are very good at their job. They can catch a predator in their front feet and kill them.
The manure is great for gardens, and they are really sturdy and can be taught to pull loads and carry packs.
