CLASS IS IN!

Our January 2006 "Thrive or Survive" seminar was an absolute hoot. We had a great mix of fun people, new and old suri and huacaya breeders and even some that had been looking at this industry for eight years!

At the end of the seminar we had a feeling of accomplishment and pride. Some were back at us the next day with new marketing campaigns, some others are having us class their animals and select breedings from the nation's best herdsires (not just ours) and nearly all have booked into our half day and one day animal and fiber classing seminars.

They ate us out of house and home. Drank a lot, I mean a lot, of some good Aussie and local wines and some even ended up at the Spirit Mountain Casino Saturday night, after class finished at 9.30pm

Here's some pics and testimonials.

Dear Alan and Jude,   I was recommending your “Thrive or Survive in the Alpaca Industry” Seminar less than 24 hours after returning home.  The seminar was fast-paced, enriching and concise.  Whether a seasoned breeder or a person in the decision making stage, the weekend was filled with valuable information.  Sharing the joy of laughter, fabulous food, meeting old friends and making new ones was an added bonus.   Thank You   Juanita DeSisto 3 Boys' Alpacas www.alpacasbydesign.com Featuring SuriSculptures Renton, WA 425-432-1138

Dear Jude and Alan,

Just wanted to thank you for all the time and effort you put into making this past weekend so informative and enjoyable. As a relatively new breeder, the information and hands on experience was so helpful. You both are wonderful, clear speakers.

The information on marketing was especially helpful and a “ shot in the arm”. I am now re-motivated and off to a good start in 2006.

I know how much time and perhaps more importantly-energy goes into hosting an event like this and please know it was appreciated.

"Everyone has a few holes in their alpaca knowledge, regardless of their experience, and this seminar does a great job of filling them.  The setting is magnificent.  Jude and Alan bring expertise and inspiration to their topics.  It is very inspiring.  We bought two suri girls from Pucara and have great expectations for what they will do for our breeding program!"

I went away with more knowledge of marketing and the "how to" to get things done and since attending your seminar in January, we have sold 3 females and 2 males all in one month.
