We are located about 20 miles North of Huntsville Alabama in Taft, Tennessee, on about 39 Acres of gently rolling land. We purchased our farm in the spring of 2004 after looking for the right place to retire for over three years.Our goal is to provide our customers with the best animals and support available at a reasonable cost. We believe that having just started out we are better able to recognize the support needed by new farms. We had little experience in the raising of herd animals or the kind of facilities required therefore we are gradually building the facilities required to support our Alpacas and are willing to share our experience and knowledge with our customers.1) What does it cost to get into the Alpaca business?It depends on your financial ability and the timeframe in your plan for the business.
2) How much can I expect to make in the alpaca Farming business.This depends on the amount of time you will devote to the selling part of the business and the items (animals/products) you have for sale
3) What fencing is suitable for alpacas?Generally anykind of fencing will hold alpacas you must however determine the fencing by your environment. Quantity of preditors.
4) What training is important?Toe nail triming, Teeth triming, Showmanship, we recommend Neonatoal training.
5) What kind of barn do I need?After 2 years in the alpaca business we are still working on
getting a barn completed and have only used 3 sided shelters
to date.
