Back when my former boss and I were watching the company going down the tubes (we just let go half our group - again), we talked about how we should get into Alpaca farming. We were only 1/2

I was at a local fair yesterday where they had some alpacas on display, along with their goods. VERY soft material.

I promise to post alpaca pictures when I get back from the fiber festival I am going to in October. They might have llamas too.

Alpaca farm out here in our neck of NJ. Then there are the two that someone owns that we get to see almost every day on our drive home from work.

BTW, if you have not seen the "Dirty Jobs" show segment with the host trying to shear one of these animals (think alpacas) try to find it. Watching him pay for the lost income due to the bad job he did is priceless. After shearing, they just look weird.
