Alpaca Fiber

The value of alpaca fleece is the economic basis of the future market for alpacas. An alpaca breeder with a small herd on small acreage can expect to harvest his animals' fiber and sell their offspring profitably.

Most alpaca ranchers readily sell their fleece for $2 to $6 an ounce to local artisans. Each animal on average will produce five to eight pounds of fleece a year.

New baby at Firwood Farm

We are “alpaca sitting” for some friends who are on vacation and also raise alpacas. Their dam was due when they would be gone so we set up our “maternity ward” and welcomed a new little girl today, July 2.

She is VERY cute (aren’t they all?) and was up and running around on wobbly legs just a few hours after she was born.

If you’d like to come and visit this little cutie, just call first to set up a time.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
