Llamas and Alpacas by Gina Bromage

As well as being adorable animals with a thick, warm fleece, llamas and alpacas are also intelligent, discerning, curious and sociable. In addition they are docile, gentle and easily trained. Natural grazers and browsers, they keep down hedges and pastures, they rarely challenge even the most pathetic fencing unless they are frightened, or in love. They require very little supplementary feed, live outside all year round, are generally hardy, healthy and happy.
Gina Bromage read Veterinary Medicine at Girton College, Cambs in the 1970s. After graduation she gained a Master of Arts degree before travelling to the USA, where she passed the National and State Board veterinary examinations and was awarded the degree of Doctor of Veterinary Medicine by the State of Maryland. She came back to England in 1999 and joined the British Veterinary Camelid Society. Gina continues to expand her knowledge of these wonderful animals.
