alpacas: RE: [Alpacasite] Reading posts

Lea,

I think the 50 hour comment was a tongue in cheek comment. We have around 40
alpacas (been in the business for 12 years) and it takes us ~1.5 hours of
cleanup/feed care per day and as much time as you want to spend doing
marketing/sales promotion. Since you are in it for the long haul I imagine for now
your time at marketing /sales would be limited. My only suggestion is that you get
your ranch name out there, ASAP, so people know who you are whether or not you have
animals to sell so that when you are ready people will know you. Marketing is an
interesting activity and one that can be approached in many different ways
successfully. If you have any questions you may email me privately for further
comments so as to not clog up the site. I am happy to help! ;-)

Good luck!!
