Why do people from so many countries call alpacas, "the worlds finest livestock investment?" For any investment to be valuable, it must possess certain qualities which make it desirable. Gold is scarce, real estate provides shelter, oil produces energy, bonds earn interest, stocks are supposed to increase in value, and diamonds symbolize love. Alpacas share many of these investment attributes.

Around the world, alpacas are in high demand, and people pay extremely high prices for them. They are scarce, unique, and the textiles produced from their fiber are known in the fashion centers of Tokyo, paris and Milan. There are excellent profit opportunities and tax advantages available to alpaca breeders. Historically, the alpaca’s value has sustained ancient cultures, such as the Incas of Peru, and today alpacas are the sustaining economic force for millions of South Americans. History has validated the value of the alpaca.

Livestock, or animals raised for profir, was an investment long before financial stocks were sold on the New York Stock Exchange. The richest families of ancient times measured their wealth by the size of their flocks of sheep or herd of cattle. Today, wealth as a result of livestock ownership is not as common, but tending to a graceful herd of alpacas can also be an exiting way to earn a substantial cash flow and live a rewarding lifestyle.

Since 1984, alpacas have appeared, almost simultaneously, in several countries where they had never been seen before. The U.S., Canada, New Zealand, France, Australia, and England have all acquired the foundation animals for national herds. What makes this animal so desirable? Bottom line: alpacas are both profitable and enjoyable.
