Fibre males ...why not?

I don’t know if it has occurred to you, but there are some really good looking males out there, that are wasting away.  I mean this figuratively, of course!  The fibre end of the alpaca business is often forgotten, neglected or ignored.  Yet, there is a good dollar to be made. On our farm, since our modest beginning, we have increased our fibre returns in leaps and bounds.  We started off by doubling our return pretty well every year for the first five years.  Now, it is a little more difficult, last year we did 20% better in our product sales.  Not bad for our present day economy.  More than half of our revenue is from the fibre, therefore it is not to be neglected.

Fibre males could be an economical way for you to get into the alpaca business without having to spend a large sum of money.  Fibre males are cheaper, often carry more fibre than females, are easier to care for and are easier to train. They are a great way to introduce yourself to the alpaca world.
