Why Alpacas?
When we answer the question "Why Alpacas?" we always start with the
fleece for alpacas are first and foremost fleece animals. Shorn
once a year in the spring, they produce an exquisite, fine, warm
sensuous wool that can me made into countless end products such as
sweater, blankets, socks and other clothing items. The
possibilities are endless. For those of us who knit, there is
nothing more wonderful than knitting with a fine alpaca. The
products are soft, can be worn against the skin and are hypoallergenic.
Alpaca doesn't contain lanolin like sheep's wool, so provides an
alternative that is both softer and warmer than wool.
Another reason we chose alpacas was because they are a an amazing and
regal animal while also being a relatively easy-to-care-for livestock
species. We find them to be easily halter trained and otherwise
handled.
The third reason we raise alpacas is that we believe they provide an
outstanding business and lifestyle opportunity with outstanding tax
advantages, especially for those who actively manage their herds.
