[AlpacaTalk] Re: Peruvian, Bolivian, Chilean differences
Hi Kathy-here are a couple of stories I heard from the initial import days that might add some light upon this question. They did for us. First, the Altiplano is a close nit geographic plateau with no definitive boarders between Chili, Bolivia, and Peru. Herds often roam and co-mingle.
One of the exporters told us this story. They had their export papers registered in Peru. The day prior to leaving the export papers were canceled so they loaded all their animals on a truck in Peru and drove them to Chili where they had an export visa ready to go just in case. So today he has animals that originated in Peru but were exported from Chili and as he said "I guess that means I have Chilean animals".
We believe the country of origin is / was a marketing program by a farm as a feature that their animals stood above the rest. Maybe so, but at this point we have American Animals bred and born in the USA, the best animals in the world!
Boy if that don't put fire out with gasoline I don't know what will.
Enjoy the day, Michael
