INFORMATION ABOUT ALPACAS

Alpacas have been around for centuries in South America. The ones in the United States originate from Chile, Bolivia, and Peru. Their native habitat is high in the Andes mountains. The first alpacas arrived from Chile and then from Bolivia, finally they were imported from Peru. The Alpaca Registry in the United States has been closed since 1998. Included in the camelid family in South America is the Vicuna, Alpaca, Llama, and Guanaco. The main inportations were first of Llama and then in 1984 the Alpaca started being imported.

Other then the Vicuna, the Alpaca possess the finest fleece of the South American Camelids. The Alpaca fleece was used in the clothing for royalty in the ancient Inca civilization. Later the farmers in the mountains raised the alpaca so they could make themselves light warm clothing.

The two types of alpacas are the Huacaya (their fleece is crimpy and they look like teddy bears) and the Suri (with fleece that hangs in ringlets down the sides of their bodies. We raise only the Huacaya.  The majority of Alpacas in the United States are the Huacaya.

When looking for Alpacas be sure they are registered with the Alpaca Registry thus you can be a sured of their parentage. All Alpacas registered have to have been DNA checked and their parents must be in the registry. To be able to enter any of the shows the registration is a pre-requisist.

Your best places for information is from breeders who have been in the business for a while and the Alpaca Owners and Breeders Association.(www.alpacainfo.com) The association has a library with lots of information available and the older breeders have a lot of experience with day to day occurances with the alpacas.  You will want to buy the Alpaca that you like and have the qualities you are looking to add to your farm.
