Alpacas: The "World's Finest Livestock Investment"

I Love Alpacas!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.
