Understanding The Alpaca Trend Today

By Barbara Baker


Tennessee is a state known for many things, especially music. This is because its largest city, Nashville is the home of American Country music and legends like Kenny Rogers, Blake Shelton, Dolly Parton often performs there. Not only that. Music City is also famous for its outdoors.

Amid all these and its lush outdoors are farmlands that tell a different, but equally nice story. This can be attributed to the growth of acres stretching as habitats for alpaca Nashville. Over the years, from where they have come from, the city has been known to be its breeding ground too.

Alpacas which are found in the Andes mountains of Peru in South America, are not wild. Breeders in the country know their history enough to say that they have migrated from North of the continent, to the south, three million years ago. They have a history that goes as far back as six thousand years ago when they evolved and developed.

Thus, people learned to domesticate them so that their coat can be used for wool. Before long, the uses of their fur became widely known all over the world in the textile and fashion industry. In the camel family, it is by far the smallest, standing only up to three feet in height and two hundred twenty five centimeters wide.

Being a ruminant, the beast has a stomach in three chambers that is used for digesting the food they like to eat. They belong to the herbivores that are why they like to feed mostly on vegetables and plants. They also eat stems and barks of trees. Unlike other animals, they do not transfer somewhere else to urinate. They do it wherever they are located.

This had proven the claims of Peruvians who had trained them many years ago. They were able to take advantage to its many uses, especially in the growing textile market. The Trend had evolved and the demand for it has grown, and with good reason. Being herbivores, alpacas eat grass, plants, shrubs and even tree branches or figs.

Since they came from the same family, they can also successfully breed with llamas, the result being a huarizo. This breed is highly valued because of its beautiful fleece which turns out to be a useful type and the most stylish of its kind, when sewn as a garment already. Aside from that, they are known to be gentler than their parents.

These animals are not dogs. You have to treat them right. When you do that, you get good returns in the end. A sociable one is good enough. But a well trained one can be considered a pet when you want it to be more than just for clothing production. They hum a lot too. That is the very common sound, because they have never, ever been wild enough to trigger too much noise unlike any other forest beast.

With training, they have potential to become good mannered pets. That is, if you only want them domesticated for the whole pet thing. If your purpose is business out of it, then you need a farmland that can accommodate a herd for your production later on. You will not have a problem managing the animal because they are known to be of the sociable kind.
