nature, nuture, is natural

Wish I had a farm to raise a few of these animals.

Nice

Alpacas cost thousands of dollars, have special needs and need to be protected from predators. Good protectors are Great Pyrenees dogs, donkeys and llamas. They need companionship of their own kind or they will die of loneliness. You need to make sure that you have a vet in your area who is familiar with alpacas/llamas, so that you don't lose your huge investment to an injury or illness. You can buy alpaca fiber unspun, so if you have a yearning to learn to spin, it's cheaper and easier to do it that way.
