alpaca investment

About alpaca investment and alpaca farms. Shrewd tradesmen of the past, finding that the fabric manufactured from alpaca wool was highly desired, many years ago gave the name to a far cheaper fabric, a material used for coat linings, umbrellas, and thin, warm-weather coats. Long and silky, straighter than a sheep's, this fleece is strong, small of fiber, very soft, pliable and elastic. Many of the silky, fluffy, knitted garments that command the highest prices for winter wear, and which are called by various names, such as "vicu a," "camel's hair," etc. , are really made of the fleece of these animals.

alpaca farms

The fleece of these animals are extremely variegated. About alpaca investment and alpaca farms. Since in the wild these animals required better and scarcer forage, short, tender grass and plenty of water, they frequented the most remote and lofty of the mountain pastures. In the past they were handled only when the fleece is removed, seldom saw any one except the peaceful shepherds, and were extremely shy of strangers, although not nearly as timid as its distant cousin the vicuna. Their birth weight is between 15 and 19 pounds and the babies (cria) can stand and nurse within 30 minutes to one hour after birth. About alpaca investment and alpaca farms.
