The alpaca business by its nature is a very female
oriented business.
Women are attracted to raising alpacas like no other agri-business.
Alpacas respond well to a woman's nurturing care. Their small
stature and sweet disposition allow women a hands on approach. The primary caregivers to the herd with chores only taking
about a half hour a day for a herd of 10 are often women. Alpaca fleece can be
harvested once a year without harming the animal. Many owners take
up various fiber arts such as spinning, knitting, felting and other
crafts. A small farm store selling hand made and imported alpaca
products is a great way to add cash flow and help meet the expenses
of the farm. Alpaca farming quickly becomes a family activity
involving children and grandchildren in the caring for and showing
of favorite Alpacas at an ever increasing number of shows.
