I take it to the pasture to read sometimes, I bring out issues to display on farm day or give to new people.
The Magazine does NOT loose money. It is a cost of that advertising. the fact that it is in Barnes and Noble, tractor supply etc. Is good for all of us.
The cost of Alpaca Magazine should be figured into the advertising budget each year, and then thats it .. A cost of supplying this kind of advertising.. which in my opinion has been a very good thing for alpaca breeders for many many years.
Just like the TV ads it is a form of advertising and it cost money.. That is fine with me. I see it as one of the good things AOBA spends money on.
The E-blast was in horrible taste yesterday at the same time no less than what I have come to expect from the parties sending it out.
They have made it clear from the beginning who they want us to vote for, and who they don't want us to vote for..
Just my 2 cents,

I also failed to mention that I would be more than willing to pay for the print version. If I value something like printed magazines, books, steaks, John Deere tractors, etc and choose to have them for ME (not you), then I"m willing to pay for them. For the record, I don't eat steak, I can't afford a JD and wait until books come out in paper back. All I attempted to do was to give another side to the issue.
