alpacas: 12/03/08

Re: [AlpacaTalk] Re: Another one of those ?...lol...showing alpacas

Yup, I just looked it up. Non-breeders of any gender are not eligible
to show at halter. I guess the thinking is that only those who are
"show quality" should be shown, and all "show quality" should, then, be
breeders.

If the male is a gelding he can show in a gelding halter class and be
used in Performance. If he is registered as a non-breeder he cannot be
shown in halter (AOBA rule) but can be used in Performance, unless the
show has a rule that the alpaca has to show in halter to be in
Performance. That would be a show rule not an AOBA rule.

Re: [AlpacaTalk] Another one of those ?...lol...showing alpacas

Yes, as long as he's registered in your name, or you have a buyer's
permission to show form (for AOBA shows). If he's gelded, some shows do
have gelding/non-breeder classes, and if he;s intact and not registered
as a non-breeder, you may certainly show him in the appropriate
"regular" class!

Actually, I don't know if this question has ever come up!

Re: [AlpacaTalk] Re:Alpacas and Emus

Speaking of emus..... I have 2 rescue alpacas who have beautiful fiber
but none on their legs. They hair just hangs down and the legs are
just plain
short furred, making them look a bit like 4 legged emus with furry
necks...
IS this a common breed flaw or are they chewing each others legs or is
there something else?

Thanks
Lysa

[AlpacaTalk] Re:Alpacas and Emus

Hi Katy,

One of the key points I make to clients and tour groups when contrasting
Alpacas vs. Emus/Ostriches is that there were no viable Emu meat and oil
markets before the import and breeding of that industry. Rather, the
attempt to develop the meat market coincided with breeding operation
startups. In addition, Americans did not take to the meat as everyone
thought - there were tastier, equally healthy options. With alpacas, the
market existed LONG before the first imports for the market. When I
mentioned to my parents about starting an alpaca farm they both mentioned
they owned alpaca sweaters in high school (c.1930), which I found very
telling.

Just my addition,
