Page 5 of 24 Watch out, there’s an alpaca about A farm in West Cornwall has recruited two unusual security guards to protect its hens from harm. Tremayne Farm, near Camborne, has taken on two Peruvian alpacas – named William and Harry - to keep predators away. Farm manager Giles Greenhough said: “Because of the alpacas’ nature, they'll take up the role of becoming guardians of the flock.” Alpacas are used extensively in Australia and New Zealand to safeguard sheep. “We know that happy hens lay the tastiest eggs and for that reason, we recruited the alpacas,” he added. |
