With the addition of the cattle and sheep, the plan for the pair is to improve the management of the paddocks with cross grazing.
With this plan in action, the paddocks have returned strongly and all the stock are enjoying the benefits of good weed control and strong growth of the pasture.
The pair, who trade under the name of Coraz Alpacas, feel the added addition of extra laneways and smaller paddocks have also allowed for rotational paddock grazing.
''The alpacas have benefited from the cross grazing as they prefer to eat the shorter grass,'' Pratt said.
