Alpacas are members of the camelid family indigenous to South America particularly Bolivia, Chili, and Peru. They are peaceful, gentle animals that are easier to raise than most livestock. They are one of the least aggressive animals on earth, which makes them easy to handle. They are efficient grazers and their padded feet make them gentle on pasture areas. They eat only the tops of the pasture plants rather than pulling the entire plant from the ground.

They provide a renewable resource providing 3-12 pounds of fiber per animal per year. For centuries the alpaca's fiber sustained ancient cultures, such as the Incas of Peru. Alpacas continue to contribute significantly to the economy of Peru. Peru exports alpaca fiber to many countries in many forms with Japan and Italy being the major consumers of the fiber. The fashion houses of Italy use baby alpaca for specialty scarves and shawls. Some of the highest quality men's suits found in Europe are made from lightweight alpaca yarn.

Alpacas have been called "The World's Finest Livestock Investment" because they are relatively scarce (approximately 50,000 in the U. S. compared to 3,000,000 in Peru) and in high demand. Because alpacas can no longer be imported from South America, domestic growth will depend on the animals already in the U. S. Alpaca values have remained constant since their introduction into the United States in 1984. Before investing in an alpaca purchase, consult your tax advisor about the effects of a purchase on your tax situation.
