Alpacas are good herd animals because they are social creatures that thrive in groups, which helps reduce stress and anxiety. Their natural instinct is to bond closely with other alpacas, promoting a sense of security and comfort. Additionally, they communicate effectively through body language and vocalizations, which fosters cooperation and social interaction within the herd. This social behavior contributes to their overall well-being and makes them easier to manage in a farming setting.
