Alpaca Farm Management Raising Alpacas is not difficult as they are easy to maintain in fenced pastures. These gentle Alpacas are about 36 at the withers and can weigh between 100-200 pounds, and can live between 15 to 20 years. The longest document lifespan is 27 years. These quiet and tame animals only require a small acreage to survive. Alpacas have soft, padded feet that are gentle to pastures. Many farms and ranches have other forms of livestock or crops and find it qu...ite easy to add a small herd of Alpaca to their farm’s assets as they need so little acreage and are quite easy to maintain, while at the same time offering a nice profit from the shearing of their soft and luxurious fiber. Shearing of the alpaca coat occurs once a year, and each animal produces approximately 5-10 pounds of fiber per animal per year. The fleece itself is recognized globally for its fineness, softness and excellent thermal qualities and luster. See more

Alpacas are in the Camelid (camel-id) family related to llamas but are smaller in size and originated with the Incas in south America. The alpaca is bred for its luxurious, sought after fleece which is spun into soft garments such as coats and sweaters. Their luxurious fleece was actually originally referred to by the Incas as the Fiber of the Gods.
