About Alpacas
The Alpaca is a remarkable breed. Orginating in South America, specifically
in Bolivia, Chile and Peru, these animals are rapidly gaining in popularity
throughout the world as a livestock breeding animal. Frequently
referred to as, "The World's Finest Livestock Investment," alpacas
are raised for their wonderful fleece. Currently there are approximately
30,000 alpacas in the United States and the demand for them has increased
dramatically every year since their arrival in 1983 from South America.
Due to the strong interest in alpacas and the limited number available
outside of South America, there currently exists an excellent breeding
market opportunity in the United States. Below are excerpts from the AOBA
1999 Breeder's Guide article: .
