Welcome to !!!SUNBURST ALPACAS!!!
Alpacas… Then and Now.
When Alpacas were first imported into the USA from South America it would have “cost” thousands and thousands of dollars to select, health cert., import, quarantine, and freight the Alpacas to the importing ranches. From there, each ranch would have “marked up” their imported alpacas according to quality and lineage and import region. Some of our first “imported” Alpacas cost us in the mid to high 20’s! Remember, those investors required “pay-back on their up front investments as well as those US folks that purchased them to sell to us.
When we started our business in 1997 there were just under 4,000 ARI registered Alpacas in the US. Now in 2009 as of this writing there are approximately 156,374 Alpacas. We will have to add 3 to that from our ranch just this week!
NOW is the best time ever to purchase Alpacas. There are many quality Alpacas with diverse bloodlines in the country to select. With the recent adjustment in their fair market value, Alpacas have become affordable for more folks than just those lucky enough to have disposable incomes! Ordinary, hard working people are now able to enjoy the Alpaca Lifestyle too!
Sunburst Alpacas has been in operation since 1997. 2009 is our 12th Anniversary! It's hard to believe we have been doing "ALPACAS" for 12 years! Time flies when you love what you do!
Today the operation in run by Susanne Thatcher and her daughter, Sherri Thatcher-Harshman. We are "full-timers" in the Alpaca business.
We are choosing to remain a small ranch. Quality not quantity. We love to "sell out" all of our show stock and start over again each year! We do keep a chosen few just to expand our bloodlines.
AS ALWAYS, WE ACCEPT CASH, CHECK, VISA & MASTERCARD A 10% DISCOUNT***IS AVAILABLE ON CASH ONLY ALPA |

Investing in ALPACAS is a great way to improve your portfolio and add a joyful experience to your life. We have found the investment of time, money and commitment has been well spent since we became involved in the world of ALPACAS. They give, or return, much more than we do!
FYI: Just as we have done, you can enjoy them forever and participate in the tax benefits they provide. These exotic looking animals are still rare in the US, but can be raised anywhere farm livestock can be owned. They can also be depreciated over a five year period. The sale of breeding ALPACAS and their offspring can provide capital gains benefits, and expenses incurred are deductible. The cost of each alpaca can be depreciated against your personal income over a five or twenty year period. And your investment is safe because ALPACAS are 100% insurable! Consult your tax advisor for specifics as they relate to you.
Call us today to discuss the endless possibilities of ALPACAS!
Warmest Regards,
Susanne & Sherri SUNBURST ALPACAS
