Milota is off the charts: there is a farm in New York where you can cuddle adorable alpacas

There is no scientific evidence for this, but alpacas are arguably the cutest and loveliest animal in the world. They are similar to and close to llamas, but much smaller in size. They are mainly bred for their wool, which is used for winter clothing and really warm blankets. Although alpacas are mostly associated with South America, there are quite a few of them in New York, at Buck Brook Alpaca Farm. Writes about it Only in Your State.

Buck Brook Alpaca Farm is located atop Sullivan County. In their homeland, alpacas live at high altitudes, so they feel very good here in the Western Catskills.

The farm offers tours and also offers visitors many ways to experience the alpacas. You can walk with an alpaca. They also have blankets and other alpaca wool products for sale.

Alpacas are so cute that you will definitely not remain indifferent. If you have the urge to take this animal home, they do have some for sale.

The farm tour is very educational and you will definitely learn a lot about alpacas.

For example, did you know that a herd of alpacas usually uses one part of their territory as a latrine? This helps keep the living area clean and reduces insects.

Baby alpacas are called krias. They somehow manage to be even prettier than adults.

Alpaca fur is the second strongest animal fiber in the world after mohair (made from the fur of angora goats). It's no wonder their wool is so popular in blankets and winter accessories.

If you are ready to learn more about alpacas, visit the farm website and book yourself a tour. The farm is located at 12 Bestenheider Rd, Roscoe, NY 12776.
