Many different people are becoming alpaca farmers, from stay at home moms, to couples retiring, to young professionals, to farmers not successful in other livestock.
Alpacas are easy and fun to care for. You can raise them on your own farm or agist them on another alpaca farm. They require daily feeding mostly of an orchard grass hay and fresh clean water. Some farms choose to supplement with a specialized grain and mineral.
Alpacas are raised for their amazing fleece; which is shorn once a year and made into beautiful luxurious garments. Hand spinners covet the fiber which they spin into beautiful yarns.
