"Hi, I'm Jill Bergman and I'm going to talk to you today a little bit about the demeanor of Alpacas, and I think Alpacas are rather unique. They are very gentle and very shy.

Nothing feeds the soul more than to come into the barn in the early morning and be surrounded by these gentle creatures. It is just absolutely a positive treat."
