Where to Buy Alpacas

Video Transcript

"Hi. I am Jill Bergman and people often ask "How do I start? Where do I go to get an Alpaca?", and what I suggest to you is find someone that has Alpacas and people that have Alpacas and more than just a couple of them generally want to, to maybe move one out. And maybe you could have an opportunity to get one from them. You could look on the Internet and just look up Alpacas. There is a national organization called A.O.B.A, Alpaca Organization Breeders of America and you can find out information on the Internet from them about what Alpaca breeders or which Alpaca breeders are close to you. And but they are listed by state and you could just go that route to find out. But there is quite a few Alpaca people around and some have just a couple. Some have hundreds. I mean there, the range is very, very broad. In Utah there are not that many people that have Alpacas. Also if you are looking for supplies for Alpacas what I would suggest is a local farm store. And I have one not too far from me and I get most of my supplies actually from them. There is also Alpaca supply people that I can't mention their names but that you can locate on the Internet as well. You could just put in Alpaca supplies and you would find who it does provide. Like halters and leads there are very, you cannot get halters and leads or particularly the halters for Alpacas at your local farm store. So you would have to find out who specializes in Alpaca products for somethings."
