I think Manitoba would be way too cold. Alpacas can cope with cold, but not much below zero deg C. See https://www.alpacanation.com/forum/topic...C_ID=11988
But you are right about eating weeds. Alpacas and goats are good weed eaters. Sheep prefer grass, plus fallen fruit in autumn, and will eat tree bark in winter and some leaves. (We had to protect our tree trunks from the sheep, haha!). Our two remaining sheep, Zina and Lucie, love the autumn, when they munch the fallen apples and plums!
