"Australia's loss is Oregon's gain! We attended Alan and Jude's seminar this past weekend and were more than pleased with all that we learned. Even after being in the alpaca business for several years, the information that we gained has had an immediate impact on our day-to-day business -- everything from feeding to assessing fiber to being more critical in judging our own herd without the "barn blind" syndrome.  

Thank you, Jude and Alan, for being great instructors and wonderful hosts!  

"Marie & Chuck Smith  Stone Mist Alpacas"

Everyone has been asking so at last we have some good news, our seminar series will start in March and continue on at different locations across the nation for the rest of the year.

Our longevity in this fabulous industry has been directly related to what we have put in and it is part of our mission statement to help breeders get quality education in livestock production. To help other breeders achieve their breeding goals, to see that special cria born to their breeding and selection criteria is a special moment for us. We place immense importance of making sure our clients get started right. the better they do in the industry, the better we do and the better the industry as a whole does!

This year we will again run a number of workshops which groups of breeders can book for their particular needs.
