Alpaca herd grows in McHenry County
CRYSTAL LAKE – While researching business opportunities eight years ago, Paul and Gail Wasserstein discovered alpacas at the Lake County Fair.
"I found them enchanting," Gail Wasserstein said.
Three weeks later, the couple brought five alpacas to their home in Barrington. They recently moved – with their herd of more than 50 alpacas – to a 37-acre former horse ranch near Crystal Lake. They plan to expand their business, Andean Vista Ranch, into a full-time job after retirement.
