Alpacas appeal as fiber source and investment in Pennsylvania
Highland Alpaca Farm owners Lindsay and Steving describe alpacas as a refined fiber source easier on the body than wool. Each animal yields about eight pounds of fiber per shearing, with purchase prices from 18 000 to 36 000 dollars. They emphasize DNA testing, ear tagging, insurance, and potential 50 percent returns while noting alpacas as efficient eaters needing modest space and pasture.

New Castle Planning Commission members faced questions about conflicts due to ties with the New Castle Area School District and Eckles Architecture. Solicitor James Manolis said the five member panel may vote, as Pennsylvania Ethics Law finds no conflict since they serve as an advisory board without spending power. The district seeks action on Reis Street, an alley off Lincoln Avenue, and a Lincoln Avenue property for a public school.
