Morden Hall <strong>Alpacas</strong> and Livanti <strong>Alpacas</strong><br />
started working together in 2003 when<br />
they discovered their shared not only an<br />
enormous enthusiasm for their alpacas but also a<br />
joint desire to offer a wider professional service<br />
to the alpaca community – without losing that<br />
personal touch. Every visiting animal to either farm<br />
is looked after with the same level of care and<br />
attention as the resident herds.<br />
Morden Hall <strong>Alpacas</strong> is situated on the borders<br />
of Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire with Livanti<br />
<strong>Alpacas</strong> in Buckinghamshire so by working<br />
together, the two farms have found that they are<br />
able to offer their clients a greater choice in all<br />
aspects of alpaca farming. This has proved to be<br />
particularly benefi cial when it comes to selecting<br />
the right covering male.<br />
Between them, the farms currently offer a total<br />
of eight excellent males, including:<br />
2004 BAS National Champion<br />
There is also a good choice of colours available.<br />
Clients can choose from a selection of white boys<br />
as well as light fawn, dark fawn and light brown.<br />
