Why do we breed Alpacas?
Alpacas are ecological and gentle to the environment where they reside. They're small, intelligent, and friendly.
They consume small quantities of water and food (about 75% less of what a cow or horse consumes in a day.)
The hooves are soft with cushions which allow them to walk any terrain without causing damage to the grounds. Alpacas never over graze.
They are easily adaptable to different environments and terrains.
Alpaca's wool (fiber) is free of oils like lanolin. Immediately after being shorned, can be washed with natural soaps and process without the use of any chemicals. With it’s more than 32 natural tones, the alpaca fiber offers the best alternative against chemical dyes.
Simply we believe that Alpacas are the livestock breed of the future!
