Description

From the cold regions of the South American Andes to the comfort of a ranch in the United States, alpacas have been winning hearts for more than six thousand years. This small camelid is an animal that is bred for its fleece, its meat and in some cases, as a pet. Alpaca husbandry is surprisingly easy, and though there is a certain amount of information that is necessary to ensure that you can care for these animals, they generally prove themselves to be quite hardy and enduring. Whether you are looking for a profitable type of livestock that does not require butchering, a new addition to your hobby farm or a unique and interesting 4H project, the alpaca might be just the animal that you have been looking for. Figure out if your farm or ranch can support alpacas and learn more about these beautiful, sweet-tempered animals. From their lofty prominence in Incan culture to their "re-discovery" during the 19th century Industrial Revolution, alpacas have long lived in association with man, providing humans with one of the finest and most durable of all natural fibers.
