Many people who become involved in the alpaca business have a genuine interest and adoration for alpacas. Alpacas have been living in South America for many centuries. They were brought to the United States in the mid 1980s. Alpacas are gentle animals that are related to camels and llamas. They live long lives of approximately 15-20 years which gives them many effective years of breeding and many years of fleecing, both of which are profitable for alpaca breeders and owners.

An alpaca business is unlike opening a new store or office. Many people choose to be involved in all aspects of the alpaca business, including caring for and breeding the animals. So, for many people a lifestyle change is necessary. While alpacas do not require the extensive acreage that other types of livestock require, they are still not city dwellers. Many families and empty nesters are attracted to the healthy lifestyle an alpaca farm can afford them.
Of course, in order to sustain that healthy lifestyle, alpacas must be profitable for the investor.
