The perimeter fence is positioned a minimum of 2 metres inside our walled boundary, preventing any contact with neighbouring livestock.
We routinely conduct boundary checks

The entire perimeter is protected with badger proof fencing sunk into the ground to prevent badgers digging underneath it. It also has more closely spaced vertical stay wires than regular stock fencing tp prevent badgers forcing their way through it.
Raised feeding and water stations

All feed and water stations are raised above ground level and the areas regularly cleaned and maintained - to guard against wildlife sharing them with the alpacas

Biosecurity notices at entrances
Any alpaca moving on to the farm must be bTB tested clear before delivery to the farm and all alpacas sold and leaving the farm are also tested. We have never had a case of bTB.
In addition all moving alpacas are de-wormed with Zolvix.

Our Herd Name
We are lucky enough to live on the edge of beautiful Bodmin Moor which has been designated as an International Dark Sky Landscape in recognition of the exceptional quality of the night sky - the inspiration for our name.
