Are alpacas difficult to manage?
No. They are quite at ease with people and quick to learn. They can be moved easily around a farm without the aid of a dog. Any fencing that keeps sheep contained is satisfactory, preferably without barbed wire. Alpacas do not tend to jump fences but are quite capable of clearing a standard fence if sufficiently stressed. Apart from the boundary fences, the most important structure is a small yard or pen to catch the alpacas.
