One of the advantages of this type of farming is that you can start without extensive experience with animals or agriculture in general. The alpaca's hardiness makes it an easy animal to understand and raise. As a result, annual feed and veterinary costs are significantly lower than for other species. The investment in fencing and handling equipment is also considerably less than for other animals. Furthermore, it's a unique animal: beautiful, gentle, calm, and so endearing. Alpaca farms are generally family-run, and the whole family is involved, which facilitates management and the transfer of the herd to the next generation.
