Alpaca Breeders of New Mexico Official Site

New Mexico and alpacas - the two go hand in hand, a fact already discovered by the members of New Mexico Alpaca Breeders and one that we hope you will discover too.

For centuries, New Mexico has been the home of agricultural businesses and textile industries. Now, with the introduction of alpaca ranching to New Mexico, we are adding a new twist to the traditional industries of the state.

...the fastest growing livestock business in America... Alpacas were first introduced to the USA in quantity in the 1980's and the business of alpaca ranching has been steadily growing ever since. Breeding and raising alpacas is the fastest growing livestock business in America and one that has many tax advantages and certainly a high rate of return. Owners and breeders also enjoy the opportunity to work with these enchanting, easily maintained animals and create a lifestyle envied by many. New Mexico's temperate winters, warm and arid summers and beautiful spring and fall, combined with wide open spaces and reasonable land costs make it a great state in which to have your alpaca business. New Mexico breeders are passionate about their business and constantly aim to breed the best alpacas in the USA.
