The Alpaca industry's long range future is in the fiber. Wholesale and retail markets must be developed so Alpaca owners will be able to profit from the commodity their animals produce.

The main purpose of ohioalpacas4u.com is to help develop this market for Alpaca fiber.

First: Alpaca owners must be better educated about the production of quality consistent fiber through nutrition, animal care, breeding programs and shearing practices.

Second: Wholesale buyers of raw and processed Alpaca fiber and products must be identified. These buyers must make the produces aware of their needs and demands.
