[AlpacaTalk] Re: get money for your alpaca fiber!

 

Agreed, every oz. is usable.
However, would you pay the same price on a blanket and 3rd.?

I just trying to understand how you can make money from raising alpacas for their fiber by selling a lb. of a blanket fiber for $6.00 /lb.

Here, in the west coast I pay $40 per alpaca for shearing, and $24 for a bale of hay.

And they dont have to be the "best" fleeces either! No memberships required. Alpacas do not have to be registered either! It really is ALL ABOUT THE FIBER, not blue ribbons! Time is running out to get your fleeces in- See details on the link below or ask me any questions! No, this is not spam or an offer to sell alpacas -it is to get your fleece out of storage, into hands of the buyers and money to your pocket! No skirting fleeces, no need to be present to sell -we do it for you and dont take any of your profit! Please, pass this along to everyone you know that has alpacas or anyone that has alpaca fiber sitting around. People want to buy your fiber!
