Why Board An Alpaca?

 Boarding an alpaca can be a cost effective way to for someone to enter the Alpaca Business.  It may also be a way that someone can have the financial and tax advantages of ownership even if they do not have land for them to keep the alpaca themselves.

 In some cases a new breeder will board the alpaca, allowing them time to learn more and become more comfortable with ownership and caring for the alpaca.  Boarding can also be a way to have alpacas in different regions of the country, making potential sales easier.

 There can be a number of reasons for boarding an alpaca with a breeder.  Whatever the reason, we caution you to be sure you know what care you alpaca will receive.

What Care should I get?

The care your alpaca will receive will depend on what care you ask for.  Generally the alpaca is provided with shelter, feed, hay, water and general care and supervision.  In many cases we sit and discuss options for care with someone.  We also provide you with a "schedule of costs" for things that may arise with your alpaca.  We also ask for a "Medical Release" that allows us to get emergency medical care for your alpaca if required.  One basic rule at Safe Haven Farm; every alpaca is treated as if it is our alpaca!  You alpaca is a part of our herd, which means that we will always do what is right and worry about the cost or work involved later.
