Alpacas are cute

“So strap on..oh no no no…😂

If you are contracting your socks out to a sock maker, disregard the next sentences. Alpaca socks are a little tricky in that Alpaca fiber is less stretchy than other fibers. My bff is a sock maker, she has a dedicated machine and has decided not to do alpaca socks because they require an additional type of fiber entirely to make them stretchy. Email me if you want more info. On a brighter note; Happy Holidays to you and the family compound! P.S. John, the chainsaw trees in the last vid looked fantastic!🎄

Grass seems to be your main problem as it would save you a fortune on hay. I hope you can achieve a decent amount for all your needs, we have a small wooded area that always flooded but after sorting the drainage we are getting a nice amount of natural grass growing now. great vlog oh and I hope you are all safe over the pond.

Nice breakdown of the honest facts about alpaca raising and the costs associated with them. I know Chad said he and Rae liked some alpaca socks they had bought. That they were really warm and soft. That was why Chad called out his son Case for taking Chad's alpaca socks on vacation to someplace that wasn't even cold while Chad is at home in the cold taking care of the animals, so Chad could have used them more.

Great breakdown. I guess it’s safe to say you do it for your love of Alpacas first. Diversifying sounds like a solid plan. Hopefully it helps with taking care of the cost. Have a great Christmas guys.

Merry Christmas to you both and family 🎅🤶🎄💕

awesome information , my aunt has Llamas , not sure how different they are

Merry Christmas

I may even have a few new ideas if you want

Helpful thank you

Thank u. I live in Italy and i have 5 female alpacas and they are all PREGNANT. Grass here Is not a problem but i cannot find One Person to sell my wool to because alpacas are rare here and people think they are a weird kind of sheep😂.

If you're going to get a carder, then make batts for spinners. Or you can dizz it into roving for us spinners! ;-)

What does a load of compost cost? The alpaca are really expensive!

Hey y'all, Today I came across these wool dryer balls. They were all made in China probably from radioactive wool, so I thought maybe let's don't get any of that from Walmart or Amazon. Then I thought maybe y'all make some and I could buy some from you. I did not see them on your store items. Then at the end of this video I heard you mention that you do make and sell some. I guess maybe just for the shows? I am wondering what is your price point that you do sell them at and how long might it be before you would have one order to sell For Me and maybe more for family gifts for next Christmas? If you don't think you can then let me know I am sure y'all know what is and isn't on your priority list. Thank you for the video today. Merry Christmas happy holidays stay warm and safe

Does the alpaca poo make for good fertilizer? Sure wish I had a hat this weekend LOL!

🎅🎄❤️

I have watched other channels who have alpacas, and I have heard them say the alpacas generally use the same pooping area - I guess that could be good or bad. By the way do you guys make alpaca socks?

The issue probably is you need to loosing the soil before planting the grass seed

How much do you sell your hatching eggs for?

To be honest I may be interested in buying alpaca made blankets for my country store to resale if your interested.

How many acres do you guys have

Do you give the Alpacas grains?

Question why you need that many alpacas? Why is 3 not enough? It just cost too much money time and space to have that many. Can I make a profit with 3 alpacas?

Tax breaks?
