Alpacas Travel from Snowy KY to Sunny FL
Ever wonder how alpacas travel? They usually travel in horse trailers, but sometimes they go from farm to farm in a minivan. Once they get in, they usually cush (sit down), chew their cud, and enjoy the ride.
Here are some pictures sent to me by my friend, Sarah Elhoffer of Sierra Echo Accoyo Alpacas. Sarah writes:
“I made it back from KY where all the snow is. Thought you would enjoy these photos I took. Only 4 alpacas show in the photo, but actually 5 are in the minivan! (actually 5 and 3/4 because one is preg) You are welcome to use it on your blog if you think others might enjoy the alpaca ark. I was actually holding the camera backwards and having to look in the rearview mirror attempting to see the viewfinder…and “concentrating” on the road! I am so surprised I caught anything in the pic. Other pics (below) are immediately after unloading after the 10 1/2 hr drive from snowy KY to FL”.
Thanks for sharing Sarah!

Very cool.
I’ve always thought alpaca trailers should have windows in them so that alpacas and people can get a better look at each other.
