I’d like to sell alpacas but it’s much more important to me that people who buy alpacas – whether from me or someone else – get them with the right expectations. If you just want alpacas to love (pets) or for fiber, taking care of them is easy to do and totally a joy. But if you want to make income raising and selling alpacas or alpaca fiber products as a business; that’s a much more challenging role for most people. Which can also be a joy – it’s a great pleasure to me to help a new farm get started that wouldn’t be possible if I wasn’t selling alpacas – but you have to work at sales and marketing to make it happen. Most people don’t think about that side of the business enough when they are in the planning phases.
I personally only feel like I’ve succeeded when my clients are also successful in their goals.
