What can you do with alpacas?
- You can raise alpacas, train alpacas, show alpacas in conformation classes, agility classes, performance classes and even "stakes" classes. Alpacas are easy to train and fun to show.
- You can shear them each year to get an average of 4-6 pounds of soft, wonderful fleece.
- You can spin the fleece on a drop spindle or spinning wheel or send it off to be spun for you.
- You can knit cuddly, warm sweaters.
- You can weave luxurious, soft cloth.
- You can use the fiber to make felt for hats, vests, jackets, etc.
- You can use the fiber to "locker hook" a durable, attractive rug.
- Fishermen can make flies irresistible to fish.
- You can sell the raw fleece, yarn, or products made from alpaca fleece.
- You can breed them and have more alpacas.
- You can sell the crias (babies) or breeding stock.
Alpacas are known as "The investment you can hug". We at DAFI take great pride in our alpacas and the fleece they produce. We invite you to give us a call and arrange a farm visit to learn more about alpacas.
Breeding stock and pet alpacas are available for sale.
