No! The sale of fleece will only help cover annual expenses of maintaining the animal. Remember, the alpaca business is a breeding-based industry. Profits are made by breeding and selling the animals from your farm. A fiber-based industry may develop in the future, but experts in the field estimate that his will require at least another 10 to 15 years.
