Summary:

"These dynamics are important when llamas and alpacas are maintained in involuntary groupings based on management decisions (e.g., breeding groups, weaning groups, etc). Involuntary grouping refers to the fact that small groups are assembled by humans for the purpose of management structure, pasture availability, or other matters of convenience or necessity relative to the working of the farm"-- Provided by publisher.
