1. It’s a Buyer’s Market. Buyers call the shots. Prices on everything are down. This includes alpacas. As a Buyer you can negotiate with Sellers and get the herd of your dreams at a super price.
2. This is your opportunity to Buy Low & Sell High. Invest now. In three to five years, when you are ready to sell some breeding stock, the alpaca market will most likely favor the Sellers again. (Particularly if your investment is in high quality stock.)
3. Alpacas are an investment you can insure. In these shaky times, what other investments can you find that can be insured? Alpacas are becoming more mainstream all the time, and are being touted as sound investments on MSNBC and in the Wall Street Journal.
4. Due to compounding, your investment in alpacas grows regardless of the state of the economy. As long as your breeding stock is reproducing, your investment is growing. This year, investments that are guaranteed to grow are few and far between.
5. Tax Advantages. If you qualify, you can take a Section 179 deduction up to $250K through December 31, 2009. After that, the limit is expected to go back down.
6. Why wait? Many people wait around for the “perfect time” to make a big change in their lives. Hint: There is no perfect time.
7. When money becomes an issue, as it is for most people around the world today, it reminds us what is important. At the end of the day, do you love what you do? Do your investments make you happy? Does your job or work make you happy?  If farming is your dream, now is a great time to make your dream come true. Do Your Dream!
