Animal Health Considerations:
For the health of all animals at this event, all alpacas must
be tested for BVDV by a PCR or VI lab test and negative results must
be indicated on the Certificate of Veterinary Inspection. Alpacas from
each farm will be separated from other animals and in their own pens.
We request that out of courtesy that you do not "introduce"
your herd sire to others at this event. Contact us with any questions
or concerns.
Marketing Herdsires:
Is it strongly suggested that herd sires come with marketing, health,
breeding and show records to share with perspective clients.
Attendees are encouraged to arrange for breedings during the
Herd Sire Review.
Reserving a Herdsire Space:
Each participant is limited to a maximum of 2 pens which are 10x8. Currently,
there are a few spaces available for additional herdsires. Contact us
if you would like to participate.
