Alpacas: The "World's Finest Livestock Investment"
Did you know the Alpaca is among the world's finest livestock investments, at least according to ILoveAlpacas.com? Neither did I.
Alpacas are not inexpensive, ranging from $10,000 to $40,000 for breeding females and $5,000 to $35,000 for high quality males. High quality proven males with exceptional offspring have sold in excess of $200,000. In many cases, financing your alpaca purchase can be done right on the farm as many alpaca breeders offer financing.
Good to know I can get financing for my alpaca.
By the way, in case you're wondering like I was... the Alpaca is:
...one of two domesticated breeds of South American camel-like ungulates, derived from the wild guanaco. It resembles a sheep in appearance, but is larger in size, and has a long erect neck with a handsome head.
Yup. Now you know.
