Alpacas: A Profitable Investment You Can Hug!

Aside from being lovable and huggable, the alpaca is a great investment which can generate an average annual return of up to 50%! Here are the reasons:--Alpacas are easy and inexpensive to maintain. Once you make the initial investment to purchase your animals, they require very little space, food and attention. They are very durable animals that have been domesticated for more than 5,000 years.

--There are many different ways you can invest in alpacas. You can start out with bred females on a small plot of land, choosing to raise the animals yourself. If you don't have the time or land, you can board your alpacas at Ameripaca or another farm. As a "passive breeder," you will not need to be involved in the day-to-day care of your alpacas; but, you will continue to enjoy the decision making responsibilities of selling and breeding your animals.

--The alpaca is extremely lovable. Raising alpacas can be a very fun and rewarding experience. Many alpaca breeders in the United States have left other careers to pursue what is highly regarded as a labor of love.

--Alpacas are a great, depreciable, tax-sheltered, compounding investment. Just imagine if you could put two dollars together, wait a year, and then have three dollars ... and the third dollar would be tax deferred! Of course, money can't reproduce ... but alpacas can! That means your investment continues to multiply every year and you don't pay any taxes until your animals are sold. What's more, you can depreciate the purchase cost of your alpacas against your personal income and deduct all expenses related to their care.

--Limited supply keep your alpacas in strong demand. Growth in the U.S. alpaca population will be limited because of slow reproduction, difficulty exporting from South America and because many breeders retain offspring to build their herds.

--Alpaca fiber is known the world over for its luxurious characteristics. There is a great demand for yarn made from alpaca fleece. That's because it's light, soft, lustrous and stronger than other fibers. Sweaters made from alpaca fleece are the ultimate in comfort and warmth.

If you're thinking about adding the alpaca to your investment portfolio - or if you're deciding on whether to make it a part of your lifestyle - Ameripaca can provide you with the experience, knowledge and service you need to make the right choice. Remember, in today's market, alpacas may generate annual returns up to 50% or more, making them a truly "huggable" investment.
