The developing market for alpacas in North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand has been restricted by the scarcity of supply. Importation from South America, the native home to the alpaca, is risky and very expensive. The tremendous worldwide demand for these charming animals and their fiber, warrant their present value. Alpaca prices vary according to sex, conformation and fiber quality. A well-established alpaca registry carefully screens any potential imports.
Alpacas are fully insurable.
The potential profit and tax advantages available to alpaca breeders are important, as is the lifestyle that raising these curious creatures brings to the whole family. Thank you for Visiting Thetis Island Alpaca Ranch and The Spinning Wheeel Studio.
