The Tamworth is an English breed of the domestic pig (or Sus domesticus). The exact time and location of its origin are unknown, though it is assumed to have originated at the beginning of the 19th century near the town of Tamworth in England. Wild boars were used in the development of this breed, making the Tamworth a strong and hardy pig. Tamworth pigs have a distinct red colouration uniformly across their body, with no markings. They have a muscular and long body, and relatively long legs.

The Alpine goat is a breed of domestic goat (or Capra hircus) originating in the French Alps, found in France, Italy, and Switzerland. Alpine goats were developed as a dairy breed with a high yield of milk per animal and are adapted to the climatic conditions of their montane pastures. They have a stocky body, with long, thin limbs and neck. The short coat may be a solid brown, black, white, or grey, with black or white markings, or a patterned combination of all base colours. The head is small, with long, straight ears and slightly curved horns.

The alpaca (or Vicugna pacos) is a small, domesticated camelid species originating from the Andes regions of Peru, Bolivia, and Chile. It was domesticated thousands of years ago by native South American peoples, who used alpaca fleece to create clothing. Alpacas have a long, slender neck and long legs. Their whole body is covered in thick wool, except for the face, sometimes giving them the appearance of having a ‘hairdo’. The wool may be any shade of white, red, brown, or black. Colouration may be solid or piebald.
