Raising Alpacas....A Few Reasons Why
A New Pace in Life:  Alpaca lifestyle is a choice with opportunities and benefits for the whole family.
As a larger number of people are discovering, raising Alpacas can add a new dimension to your family
life that many of us find to be just what we have been looking for... Leisure, Fun and what could be an
additional source of Income! The escape from a fast paced urban lifestyle to the quiet, pastoral
surroundings of raising Alpacas is a prescription for healthier less stressful living!
produced by Alpacas to be a soothing remedy for a stressful day.
Tax Advantages:  Investing in Alpacas can provide outstanding financial returns offering all of the
tax benefits available to other farming activities. Instead of paying Uncle Sam the normal 35%, you can
choose to enhance your real estate by purchasing animals and deducting expenses directly against your
earned income. If you prefer to agist or board the animals, you can capture the expenses and cost of the
animals against passive income now and into the future. Tax deferred wealth building is an additional
benefit. Taxes can be postponed on the increase value until you are ready to start selling the offspring.
Alpacas as a Second Business:  Whether you own a farm or choose to board your Alpacas with a
knowledgeable breeder, raising Alpacas provides a great second business for those wishing to sustain
their current careers. Alpacas do not entail a great deal of time or effort. That's what makes them easy
to raise.
Alpacas are Easy to Raise:  Alpacas are mid-sized, gentle natured animals small enough to be
handled by anyone. With a diet composed mostly of grass and hay, not much more than a fenced-in
pasture is required. Up to six Alpaca can be raised per acre of land. You need only provide fresh water
and some shelter from the sun & wind, a three sided shed is the shelter of choice with many Alpaca
breeders.
Raising Alpacas involves Minimal Risk:  Alpacas an be fully insured protecting the Alpacas as an
investment.
Alpacas are an Enjoyable Business:  Raising Alpacas has added benefit of participating in
national, regional and local shows organizations and events. Shows provide the opportunity to
compete with other breeders for ribbons and prizes. The Alpaca industry is blessed with creative
leadership and talented people who volunteer their time to make the shows and events a truly
outstanding showcase for our Alpacas.
Alpacas are easy on the Environment: The Alpaca is an amazingly peaceful animal. Not only is
their temperament tranquil and easy for their owners, but their physiology is also sensitive and gentle
to the environment. This harmonic relationship allows alpacas owners freedom from anxieties that
owners of more demanding livestock must face.
Luxurious Fiber:  Natural warmth, natural softness and natural strength. Alpaca fiber has the
properties that are unmatched by any other natural fiber. Alpaca clothing is lightweight, breathable and
keeps you comfortably warm. What other attractive and intelligent animal can produce such an added
benefit!
