Alpacas are great lawn mowers. They quite happily spend their day grazing and lounging. Good pasture grass is essential to their diets.
We live on the alpaca farm, and I manage the daily alpaca care- scooping, feeding, birthing… The property we live on is five acres- about half is enclosed for the alpacas. All of the grass on the property is pasture grass. It grows like crazy in the places the alpacas aren’t living…. so I thought it would be an interesting experiment to put up sone moveable fencing to controll where the animals graze in what is essentially our from yard. This makes sense because the lawnmower keeps going on the fritz- and because -alpacas eat grass. so… let the experiment begin!
This morning, I moved three alpacas to the fenced yard- it is nine ten foot fences- so- 90 Square feet of food 
i’ll move them back with the herd later, but for now, they seem happy.
