Some use llamas to guard their sheep and goats from coyotes, bobcats, or whatever wants to kill a few of them.
Sometimes those cute llamas decide to kick the crap out of the guy that is feeding them. I think it is a time of the year thing, but, I would hate to have to drag the carcass into the back of my truck if one was foolish enuf to stomp me.

Complete moron asking a question in 3... 2...
What's the difference between a llama and an alpaca? They look the damn same to me.
It pains me to admit this but I bought an issue of Goats Magazine a few years back when I saw it on a rack at a pet store. I thought for sure I'd be able to make a really funny "Steve's been teaching me to read!" joke but it never happened. I've had a goddamned goat magazine next to the toilet for 3 years... don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Cry! Weep!
same family, but llamas are quite a bit larger than an alpaca and have coarser hair. Alpacas are generally a bit more gentle, but, contrary to the cutesy ads on tv, they can be mean too.
-
In New Mexico one can't throw a rock without hitting an alpaca farmer, not sure if it's that way all over. I've *heard* that there is/was a hefty tax reward for farming alpaca, but that was on one of those John Stossel (sp?) late night exposes so who knows.
-
you shear an alpaca for its extremely soft wool, but there is only a few ounces per animal. I have not heard of a subsidy. Most of the wool subsidies were eliminated a few years ago and that is why the sheep numbers are dwindling. It costs as much to shear a sheep as the wool is worth and there are no shearers left cause that is freakin; hard work.
That is why I bought the hair sheep to play with...no shearing.
-
There are huge government subsidies for Alpacas, the main reason you have seen them become popular. I stopped in an Alpaca store while in Chicago a few months ago, the items are outrageously expensive. I believe it was $1800 or more for a coat.

Sure wish there was a huge tax break for working one's whole life and having nothing to show for it.

Sure would be easier! I say we lower taxes for the rich and then I hope like hell that someday I'll get to enjoy what I vote for.
