  Aardwolf Alpacas breaks down the ALPACA business into three definable levels of involvement.  We offer you, the ALPACA owner, the opportunity to become involved at any level of the ALPACA business you feel comfortable with. Relatively  few assets have the potential to reproduce themselves every year as an ALPACA does. Today's small breeder can choose to be any size they feel comfortable with. You, as an ALPACA owner, can benefit from the financial return ALPACAS offer,  the tax relief ALPACAS offer, and/or the lifestyle ALPACAS  provide.  Contact Aardwolf Alpacas today for more details and to discuss your  future as an ALPACA owner.

Investment

If you are looking for an investment, with a better return, historically, than your 401K, buy an ALAPCA. Aardwolf Alpacas can help you purchase the right ALAPCA,  care for the ALPACA,  breed the ALAPCA, and when the time comes sell the ALPACA or it's CRIA (offspring).  You could be a partner of Aardwolf Alpacas, you could be an ALPACA owner,  and all you need to do is use the funds you would typically pay to Uncle Sam in taxes.  Participate as much or as little as you like.  VIsit and work with your ALAPCAS regularly or let us handlle your ALPACAS for you.

Tax Shelter 

Many people find, when April 15th rolls around, they could use a write off to reduce or delay their tax burden.  The IRS instigated the 179 rule that allows tax ductions, in full the year of purchase, rather than by historical depreciation over time methods.  Aardwolf Alpacas can find that TAX SHELTER for you, of any dollar value, with ALAPCAS.  The best part is, you have a tax deductable investment that will grow in value and a  tax shelter that will delay the payment of taxes until a more favorable climate.   You can also deduct all the costs associated with maintaining the ALAPCAS and/or any losses assocaited with the ALPACAS.

Lifestyle

 Let us help you change your hectic lifestyle to enjoy the rewards of owning an ALPACA ranch. We have never met an ALPACA rancher that has regretted the decision to adopt the ALPACA lifestyle. We can help you decide what is right for your situation, help with business planning, ranch layout, ALPACA purchases, education, training, and lifetime support. Your success is in our best interest!  Come stay at our ranch to experience the ALPACA lifestyle.

Female Cria Guarantee
    When you buy a bred female ALPACA or pay for an outside breeding it’s a big investment in the future of your ALPACA ranch. In this business everyone hopes for a female cria but of course nature cannot guarantee it. Aardwolf Alpacas helps you to minimize the risk of your investment by offering our Female Cria Guarantee. You receive this guarantee when you buy a female ALPACA from Aardwolf Alpacas or you pay for a breeding to any one of Aardwolf Alpacas solely owned herdsires. If the cria is male and you would prefer a female, we will take your male cria in exchange for another breeding, there are no other costs to you. You have to make this decision within 6 months from the date of birth of the male cria. You can change sires if you like however you must pay the difference if the sire you select is more expensive than the original sire. There is no limit to the number of times it takes to get a female cria and all crias come with our 72 hour live birth guarantee.
Boarding and Transportation

Free boarding for 90 days will be included with the purchase of any female ALPACA.  Routine care (worming, supplements, vaccinations, etc.) is included.  Once a purchase contract is signed, all veterinary expenses will be the responsibility of the purchaser. 
  We strongly encourage you to spend as much time as you can getting to know your animals and learning about ALPACA care BEFORE you take them home.  We offer our customers FREE overnight stays, at out ranch, to “work and live” ALPACAS. 
  We provide free delivery within a 300 mile distance of Canon City Colorado. If you live more than 300 miles away, we pay for the first $150 of the transportation fee. We will work with you to provide a reasonable cost and safe environment for transport.
  Other delivery fees will be negotiated as a part of the purchase contract.

Alpaca registration certificates will be transferred (at our cost) to purchaser when the purchase contract is paid in full.  Risk of loss shall pass to buyer upon entering into a purchase contract. It is the buyer's responsibility to obtain insurance, if desired, to protect against possible loss.
