Re: [Alpacasite]

Hi Cathy,

I will contact you privately, but in case anyone else is interested
in this legislation, they could contact Assemblyman William Magee
at: http://assembly.state.ny.us/mem/?ad=111&sh=con
The article published in Grassroots, from the New York Farm Bureau,
can be accessed at:
http://www.nyfb.org/Grassroots/grass0905/alpacas.htm
Senator Pat McGee, co-sponsor of the legislation, passed away
unexpectedly in April, 2005.

Also, the New York Farm Bureau should be able to assist you
further: http://www.nyfb.org/

I hope this is of help, otherwise I could look into it in more detail for you.
