Well, the herd is large enough now that it has become hard to tell some of the critters apart. This is particularly true of the yearling girls and this years' crop of cria.
We found a way to ID those in question with the use of plastic chain and cattle ear tags. We attached the ear tags to the chain, added the name and parentage of the alpaca needing ID to the tag, and attached the chain around the neck.
While not particularly high-fashion, it is serving the purpose.
