suri alpacas

About suri alpacas and alpaca information. 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. They also have a very low infant mortality rate. The males produce approximately eight pounds and the females about five pounds of easily marketable fleece from their coats per year.

Long and silky, straighter than a sheep's, this fleece is strong, small of fiber, very soft, pliable and elastic. About suri alpacas and alpaca information.
