The truth is that alpaca ownership is not the easy road we thought it might be. As newbies to the world(s) of these lovely beasts and complete strangers in the alpaca community we've struggled. The paths of alpaca husbandry are many and varied as it turns out and there are some key directions and options we hadn't thought through such as:
Do you basically wear them by harnessing and harvesting their fine wool and creating high fashion "designer" but itchy and possibly infested garments?
Breed and show them for a quick but hazardous profit?
Race them in the various illegal competitions that exist only on the dark alpaca web? (Heavy betting required and a knowledge of the gambling ways of the Hispanic community).
Eat them, (they taste like chicken) and via that experience publish a cookery book "50 Hot & Spicy Ways with an Alpaca"? (Also consider using their skins as upholstery for your custom Mini Cooper once they've been butchered, so generating a second book eventually).
Suffice to stay the jury is out and we're mulling over the various options - there may be many more than those I've listed here.
