Boarding your alpacas at Old Castle Alpacas includes the following for just $4.00 per day.
- Daily Care and Attention
- Daily Feeding (including supplements and electrolytes when necessary)
- Routine care
- No fee for routine births, although a postpartum checkup by our vet and IgG (immunoglobulin G) test for crias is recommended. We will only charge you what our vet charges us for this care.

Peri Belanger (my Sister-in-Law) brought over her Papillion puppy “Gizmo” to check out the alpacas and Llamas…boy were they curious!! (And notice how our guard dog Nana and our female guard llama ”Jazzy Jewel” are the first to check him out!)

The alpacas had visitors from Hawaii this week! Corinna and Kealani are pictured with Sarah. They live on the Big Island of Hawaii.

We love it when visitors come to the ranch and watch the alpacas from under our giant pepper tree… They love the country atmosphere and view of the valley and the alpacas are great entertainment! (I think the alpacas like the company too.)
If you’d like to make an appointment for a ranch visit, just call Sonja on her cell phone at 619-261-6677 and we will be glad to show you what our ranch has to offer! It’s a great outing for kids and adults alike to take a step back in time.

On June 27th our alpaca Bella Rose had her first cria and the first baby born at Old Castle Alpacas! She had him during the time we weren’t looking of course, but we did see the baby on the ground right after HE was born…within the first 20 minutes. Everything went well and both mom and baby had a textbook perfect birth. He is Henry the Grey’s son from Blue Ribbon Alpacas of California and we are thinking about naming him “Freedom” because he was born close to the 4th of July and a female cria named “Liberty” was born on the same day at Alpaca Mining Company in Nevada…So, Happy Birthday Freedom!
