Alpaca owners are some of the coolest chicks I know.

The foothills outside of Denver are known for their elk herds, but there's another doe-eyed herd animal making its mark on the area.
"It's a perfect environment for alpacas, because they come from the Andes and they're used to the extreme cold," said Michelle Swango, owner of Eye of the Needle Ranch near Genesee where she and her husband, Mike, have been raising alpacas for 10 years.
With around 60 alpacas, Eye of the Needle is probably the largest ranch in the area, but it is part of the close community of about 15 ranchers in the areas of Golden, Evergreen, Conifer, Arvada and southwest Denver that are a part of Alpaca Breeders of the Rockies, a regional chapter of the Alpaca Owners Association .

Uh, not me! 
I have lots of mule deer though. They love my yard and are easy to take care of.
Can I get a big tax break for my mule deer ranch?
