What is the average price range for an Alpaca?
Just like many other products on the market, price is a reflection of supply and demand. Interest in the Alpaca business is increasing and with only 90,000 Alpacas in the United States , the price for non-breeding males start around $1,000 and ranges to over $400,000 plus for registered herdsires. Most people start their herd with bred females ranging in price from $15,000 to $30,000. Since the gestation period for a female is 11 plus months, the supply is unlikely to exceed demand in the foreseeable future.
