Today happened to be National Alpaca Farm Day and the Rancho Chico Alpacas Farm in Clinton Hills held an open house. They have around 75 alpacas, both for breeding and for sale. They also shear and make fine garments out of their hair.
I went up there early to beat the rain. The farm will also be open tomorrow from 11 am to 5 pm.
The typical alpaca lives about 20 years and costs anywhere from $500.00 to $20,000 for breeders. The top price ever for an alpaca was $675,000. A little bit out of my price range on the high end, although I could use one to keep my grass trimmed. They make good pets as they are very gentle.
