If you're new to this
What you're looking at
Huacaya and Suri
Two breeds, and the difference is the fleece. Huacaya fleece crimps, so
the animal looks like a walking teddy bear. Suri fleece hangs in long
silky locks, like dreadlocks. Roughly nine in ten alpacas in the U.S.
are Huacaya, so a Suri farm is worth the drive if you've never seen one.
They are not llamas
Smaller, quieter, and bred for fiber rather than hauling. An alpaca stands
about three feet at the shoulder and weighs 120 to 190 pounds. A llama is
nearly twice that and will happily carry your gear. Alpacas will not.
Visiting one
Most farms on this site welcome visitors, but hours are seasonal and many
run by appointment only. Shearing happens in spring, which is the most
interesting time to show up and the least likely time anyone has a spare
minute for you. Call first. Always call first.
The spitting thing
Overstated. Alpacas spit at each other, over food and status, far more than
they spit at people. Give one a reason — crowd it, grab it, get between it
and its dinner — and you may earn one. Behave, and you almost certainly won't.
