In parts of South America, alpacas & llamas have been used as a source of meat and skins for thousands of years, and it is the main source of protein in their daily diets. Meat is not on the list of viable products for most alpaca breeders. To make your farm self-sufficient, the meat aspect of the business needs to be developed so the fleece industry and the stud industry can survive, grow and prosper long-term. The alpaca can be utilized with very little waste if done properly.
"La Viande" or alpaca meat is one of the healthiest and most flavourful meat's in the world. It is described as a mild meat which takes on the flavour of what it's mixed with. It is slightly salty, tender and lean, high in protein with no fatty after taste. Alpaca meat is not only rich in proteins, but also low in fat & has the lowest level of cholesterol of any meat.
Approximately 50% of a carcass is used as prime cuts, such as loin cutlets and steaks, which are sold in either the fresh or frozen meat market. Secondary cuts are processed into sausages, hot dogs, ground meat and processed alpaca hams. Alpaca meat should be cooked quickly on a high heat, to retain its natural tenderness. For the best results, alpaca meat should be served rare or medium and allowed to rest before serving.

Alpaca farmers are in most cases are very caring and give their alpacas a wonderful life even though some are used for meat. All other fibre producing livestock industries have secondary markets of meat and hides. Humane slaughtering at a small local meat processing plant can possibly bring in necessary income. The meat can be marketed privately, to local markets, specialty restaurants, health food stores, and the raw meat diet for dogs as a healthy option that is local and eco-friendly.

Why does meat continue to cook after you slice it?
Even though it's off the grill, it's still hot. When meat is hot, it cooks. It's as simple as that. In fact, after grilling meat, you should let it "rest" for ten minutes. This lets the internal temp cool down some and allows the juices to retreat back into the meat. Makes it a lot more juicy!
