Alpaca Breeding
At Timber Lodge Alpacas, we offer breeding services for your female alpacas.
Included in the breeding fee is boarding for your female and her current cria (if she has one) until she is confirmed pregnant up to 90 days. This practice protects the pregnant alpaca from travel stress and helps her maintain her new pregnancy. After the initial 90 days of pregnancy boarding fees are reasonable for the pregnant female and cria at her side, at $3.00/day. After weaning, the cria is an additional $3.00/day. |

Characteristics of Alpaca Fiber
Alpaca
fiber is among the World's most exquisite and versatile natural fibers.
Naturally hypoallergenic, Alpaca fiber has no lanolin, a natural oil
found in sheep's wool. Alpaca fiber is about 6 times warmer than wool
of the same weight, so lighter weight Alpaca garments are just as
efficient as heavier wool garments. In fact,
wearing Alpaca garments next to your skin is possible, because the
fiber is so fine that the "prickle effect" (scratchiness) is greatly reduced. Alpaca fiber also breathes and wicks away moisture, so you can wear it all day
and stay
dry. Alpaca fiber is soft, strong, comfortable, and provides the ultimate in woolen or
worsted apparel. Check out the table comparing Alpaca vs. Cashmere in our library. |
