Don’t Get Fleeced on Your Alpaca Fiber!

Want to get the MOST from your fiber and Alpaca herd? Who doesn’t? Why wouldn’t you?

Have your fiber Certified Sorted™. You can’t afford not to!

• Certified Sorting increases the usable fiber per alpaca and increases the quality of the product produced.
• Sorting can pay for itself through the use of leg, chest and belly fiber alone.
• The superior products created command superior prices, which also helps to cover the additional cost incurred with sorting.
• The valuable information received about each animal during the sorting process will help with management and breeding decisions as well as sales and marketing.
• Stop throwing away over 50% of your raw product – no other successful industry does!
• Use all of your fiber, including cheeks, tail, legs, chest and belly
• Lower your production costs by pooling your fiber with others
• Join a cooperative to take advantage of combined processing costs. Small producers pay the same price as large producers
• $40/pound (a typical fee for small lots processed in mini mills) for processing is too much! You can’t realize a profit when the processing cost is so high!
• Breed for more profitable fiber animals
• Improve density and uniformity of grade (micron), length
• The use of the individual sort record provided by your certified sorter can help you achieve this goal
• Your fiber sitting in your barn, attic and guest house, isn’t making you any money
• You have to do something with it to make a profit from it. Most farms do not have the ability to retail products. That is why NAAFP has retail outlets for its members
