Most alpacas will live comfortably in any
environment with an inexpensive three sided shed and pasture grass. In colder climates,
hay is supplemented during the winter months when the ground is covered by snow. Constant
access to fresh , clean water is also a requirement.
Our herd of around 30 alpacas require only about 2 hours per day maximum to care for
all 30! This includes optional supplemental feeding, manure pick-up, herd evaluations,
minimal grooming and optional herding to indoor housing at night.
Your decision to invest in alpacas will not disrupt your current schedule. The minimal
care that is required allows investors to run other businesses right along with their
alpaca business. Those that have decided to raise alpacas as their sole source of income
have done so out of the love and passion (not to mention profitability) that they have
developed with their alpacas. If your not careful, it will happen to you too!
