 Looking
to add some fiber to your investment diet?
Alpacas produce a premium fiber in 22 vibrant colors, the
demand for which is ever increasing. Annual fiber yields vary
from about five pounds from a single female to a reported
thirteen pounds from a larger male. Breeding and selling in this
ever increasingly popular industry is another easy way to add to
your investment dollars!
Due to a high demand for these beautiful animals, it is
common for a female offspring of an alpaca to sell for the same
price or more than an investor breeder paid for the dam. Returns
of 30 to 74% are not uncommon in the alpaca industry.
Not to be overlooked as a very important aspect of raising
alpacas are the great tax benefits that our favorite uncle Sam
now provides. An alpaca can typically be depreciated over a
five-year span or 20% per year and, in addition, the 2006 and
later tax-years Section 179 of the tax code allows for the
deduction of a capital asset up to $108,000 in the first year
the asset is acquired. Capital gains can be available on the
sale of breeding animals and their offspring. Current expenses
are deductible. Consult a tax advisor for specifics as they
relate to you.
Add to all of this that alpacas are 100% insurable. Can
stocks do all of this?
All You Need Is Love
Alpacas are so easy to raise, practically all you need to give
them is love. They eat very little food and therefore require
only a small amount of acreage per animal. Veterinary costs are
minimal. Besides their endearing qualities of warmth,
friendliness, and trainability, they have an enduring quality of
strength and toughness. That means you’ll have a friend for a
long time to come. Coming from the rugged Andes makes life on
the farm a piece of cake...for your alpaca and for you!
The Many Benefits Of Breeding
As your alpaca herd breeds and grows, the return on your initial
investment multiplies at a strong and steady rate. Along the
way, you’ll receive numerous tax benefits and incentives that
make your investment even more attractive! Deductible expenses,
capital gains benefits, and insurable, depreciable investments
are just a few of the many ways you can save money while also
taking part in one of the most exciting industries in the world. |
