After publishing an ad in a small newspaper, we were contacted by a woman interested in our fiber. She wanted it for felting. We were very surprised when she and her husband revealed the following morning that they were considering buying some alpacas. This was a perfect opportunity for Bob, John, and I to share some of the rewards of this lifestyle.
We talked at length about their specific situation. In these uncertain economic times, we cautioned them to make a business plan and allow for unexpected expenses. John was included in all of the activities. We introduced them to our herd and discussed the benefits of living with and caring for these wonderful animals. They could see John's self-confidence and enjoyment throughout the entire morning.
We have not had the opportunity to interact with prospective owners. We didn't realize how much we had learned about this industry in the past two years. As they loaded their fiber into the car, it was apparent that we would be seeing more of this young couple. Plus, we now have a fiber customer! Hooray!
