J4 Alpacas

Investment

When you invest in alpacas you don't need a brokerage house to hold your certificates. You can't "hug" your certificates or feed them or watch them grow. With alpacas in your portfolio, you can hug them, you can feed them, you can watch them grow in size and value, and you can build your portfolio value with new offspring every year. You can do this as an owner with your own land to raise them on, or as an owner who is strictly in the business for the investment benefits it brings.

Alpaca ownership is a rewarding lifestyle. The demand for alpacas and their luxurious fiber they produce continues every year.  Right now alpacas are most profitable for breeding and the sale of offspring. But, as the U.S. alpaca herd increases, we will see an increase in fiber production. This increase in quantity of alpaca fiber will expose all alpaca owners to a continuous source of revenue for their fiber. There will be a demand for new and luxurious alpaca fiber products such as men's and women's "high end" fashions and a myriad of new uses for alpaca fiber i.e. upholstery, carpet, and drapes. This will be what positions the alpaca owner directly in the fiber/textile industry, which holds boundless potential.

Selective and prudent breeding practices, the scarcity of this unique livestock in the United States, the luxurious fiber produced by alpacas and the fact that alpacas usually have only one baby per year are prime factors that preserve the future value of alpacas in the marketplace.

Tax advantages are an additional benefit to ownership. Alpacas, per IRS code, are breading livestock; they are depreciable and subject to capital gains treatment. Most expenses related to ownership, such as feed, veterinary fees, insurance costs, supplies and the like, are expensed against income. The tax advantages are greater if you are a "hands on" owner (one who has land on which to personally raise the animals) in that the barn, shelters, fencing, equipment used in the business can be depreciated and expensed against income. Your tax advisor can guide you through this and should be consulted before entering the business. There are many owners of alpacas who do not want to personally raise their alpacas, they own alpacas for the investment potential and tax benefits.
