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
of concerns.
Marketing Herdsires:
Is it strongly suggested that herd sires come with full 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 approximately
10x8 or 10x10, depending upon availability.
