Getting Started

Thinking about getting into the "alpaca business"?  Seem kind of overwhelmed?  Don't worry - remember - we all started in the same place.  At Salt River Alpacas, we believe strongly in passing on to our buyers the knowledge and wisdom that we have gained over the years so that you can get a head start on the competition!

Below are articles that we have written for magazines, or just for our customers, when they were getting started.  Feel free to download these for your own use.  Our only request is that you consider Salt River Alpacas if and when you decide to make that first purchase.
