Hidden Acre Alpaca Farm

Alpaca Investment

Alpacas offer an outstanding choice as a livestock investment. They have long been known as the aristocrat of all farm animals. But most of all, alpacas are easy keepers, they have a charismatic manner, they do very well on small acreage, and they produce a luxury product which is in high demand. Alpaca is several times stronger and much warmer than sheep’s wool. Alpaca fleece is easy to process and readily spins into both woolen and worsted yarn.

Financial Observations

	The average annual before-tax cashflow return on the original investment is 26%. This is an impressive return, but remember to consider all the hard work your family puts into nurturing this investment, although most alpaca breeders delight in the fact that they are being paid so well to live the lifestyle of their choice.
	The payback period, based on before-tax cashflow, is slightly over 4 years, with the original herd still intact

Tax Benefits of Owning Alpacas

Raising alpacas at your own ranch, in the hands-on fashion, can offer very attractive tax advantages. If alpacas are actively raised for profit, all the expenses attributable to the endeavor can be written off against your income. Expenses would include feed, fertilizer, veterinarian care, etc., but also the depreciation of such tangible property as breeding stock, barns and fences. These expenses can also help shelter current cash flow from tax.
