The worldwide population of alpaca is barely three million animals. As a result, alpaca is considered a specialty fiber with limited available supply. Alpaca fleece is comparable to cashmere in softness. A future domestic commercial market for large volumes of alpaca fleece is easily envisioned and plans for a national fiber co-op are well under way. The potential market for an animal with the characteristics of the alpaca is vast.
Alpacas are only limited in their mere numbers.
Alpacas are loved by their owners and respected by those who process or wear products made of their fleece. Alpacas are truly much more than the world finest livestock investment .
