Llama or Alpaca?

I have decided that during one stage in my life I would like to own a llama!

Noo...i think it's more than a 'like' ...I would LOVE to own a llama, up on the central coast, in my ideal world.

Why? Why not!

I've been questioning different people the difference between a llama and alpaca for awhile. And whilst they have failed me in coming up with a logical explanation ...google did not. It's all to do with the quality of fleece and size that they grow to etc etc.

I feel like it could be an investment opportunity. All they need is an acre or two...a companion, and they can either mate ( and I could be a Llama breeder) or I could sell off their fleece. Brilliance!

They eat as much grass as about 6-7 alpacas= 1 horse. Low maintenance, highly intelligent animals...who wouldn't one is what i say!
