everything you need to
understand
to make sound business decisions. This program has also

a higher level.
Get the Alpaca
Advantage
Interested in getting started with alpacas.
This is the event to attend to learn about the opportunities
in raising alpacas. The weekend workshop will feature
presentations of the future of alpacas in the US and the
industry worldwide as well as practical topics such as
fencing, facility set-up, handling animals, nutrition,
veterinary care and marketing.
"Weekend On The Ranch" is not at all like
"camp" or a B&B. It is16 hours of “NBA” (nothing but
alpacas) consisting of a combination of presentations,
interactive discussion and hands on learning. Not only is it
informative, it is also like "group therapy" to help you
learn from others who are exploring their way into this
interesting endeavor.
The weekend will start with an overview of
the overall alpaca industry. Throughout the weekend we
will cover everything we learned
in developing a national, award winning, breeding program.
Perplexed about prices? Learning
what establishes true value is just a matter of knowing what
to look for.
Caring for alpacas is not as difficult
as most newcomers fear. By the end of the weekend you will
see why so many families have traded their curb and gutter
for irrigation ditches.
Investing just a little
bit of time with us this weekend, and you will begin to
understand the value of quality breeding stock, be able to determine
what is the earning potential of an particular animal as
well as how to properly care for your alpacas.
We want to provide you with
answers to your question to help you make a decision about
taking that first step getting started with alpacas, then you
may want to consider joining us for the weekend. Learn what
11 plus years of experience has taught us in managing our herd
and business to be recognized as one of the top programs in
the country, Discover methods to achieve
success in sales and show. Identify how you can avoid many
of the common mistakes and misconceptions of new and
existing breeders.
Is it likely
your Wall Street portfolio will increase by 50% to 100% in the next
year?
Consider the compounding
advantages of breeding livestock.
Interested in tax saving opportunities?
The livestock
industry offers extensive
tax incentives for owners of breeding livestock.
