Alpacas have wool like sheep. This wool is sheared off each year, causing no harm to the animal.
Wool is a natural fibre made by animals as their covering to keep themselves warm. In nature, this is shed each year. The fine crinkled wool fibres often lie beneath coarser 'guard hairs'. Animals that produce commercial wool are Musk-ox (not in NZ), Sheep, Alpaca, Vicuna, Goats (Mohair); & rabbits (Angora) and Guinea pigs (not in NZ).
depends if it is fine the cost is between 3 to 10 dollars an oz,if regular maybe between 2 and 8 dollars an oz.
if you times the sheeps weight with the weight of the ram hu got horny and got the sheep pregnant the answer would come to how many sheep the ewe would have!!! so the answer would be 3847382583275
Australia's wool industry is estimated to be worth around $3.7 billion and produces 27% of the world's wool as of 2006.
once a year
Depends. If you show your alpacas, shear them one a year, and sell adults and cria.. ALOT.
$130,000,000. More than you.
I prefer wool. I think linen wrinkles too easy and looks sloppy after a bit. Wool holds up well, stays neat, and can be worn much of the year. A good wool suit will last years.
That is like asking how much does a gallon of gas cost? It depends on where you live, what time of year, economic conditions, among many other reasons. The amount of wool you get off of one sheep can vary depending on many factors like size, breed, quality, time of year, and other factors. Therefore the amount you will sell the wool for varies just as much. It depends on the grade of the wool, the cleanliness, the staple length, the color, and other factors. Generally you can shear 1-10lbs of wool per sheep and you can get $0.10 per pound for tags and poor wool up to $2.00 or more per pound for clear top grade wool. So basically the answer is it depends.
about 10 pounds of wool.
None.
