THINGS TO CONSIDER AS A BREEDER; Two alpacas equal in size, density and Grade of fibre. Lets start at 2 yrs old. One grows 3 inches of fibre/year for a total of 7.5 lbs. The other grows 4 inches ( 25% more for the extra inch) of fibre/year for a total of 10 lbs. That's 2.5 lbs per year for SAY 15 yrs. That's a total of 32.5 lbs extra fibre for life time of one animal. In a fibre business, if U had a herd of 100 animals, that would be 250 lbs/year - 3250 lbs over 13 yrs. There are other variables as the shorter fleeced alpacas neck fibre is too short to be usable, where as on a longer fleeced animal there is 2 to 3+ lbs of processible neck fibre. So this could be a much larger spread. Look at Ziba's consistency of fibre length of body & neck before 2022 shearing. Some Judges are now starting to reward and recognize this.
