Free Alpacas Newsletter- How to Profit from Alpaca Farming

There are plenty of mini mills that will process your fleece. For as much as $40 per pound (highest price I've seen so far), you can have it spun into yarn, and that price includes scouring and carding, and then you can sell it for $7 per ounce, which comes to $5 per ounce profit, minus any shipping charges, by my math.

There was also an offer of $5 a pound from the blanket project or something like that.
 
I would like to find a mill close to home to have my fleece spun.

Did everyone see that eBlast from the people who want to buy your fleeces, minimum 3.5", and sorted, grades 1-4, for UP TO $3 a POUND?


For crying out loud, I hope no one falls for this. Getting a fleece sorted is at least $15 per fleece, and cost of shearing, and shipping... I think you'd lose money on this deal. Much better to send it to a local mini mill and have it spun to sell.
