There is a large herd of llamas on this farm. The main differences between llamas and alpacas is their size, their fibre and their uses. Llamas are primarily used for packing or trekking, for fibre, as guardian animals, and as companion or therapy animals. Alpacas are primarily used for fibre production and breeding stock but also can be companions or therapy animals. Historically, in South America, llamas have been used for transport of goods; llamas and alpacas for meat, skins, fibre, for sacrificial offerings and manure for fuel. The buildings of Furzelease Farm are behind the beasts.
