Apparently National Alpaca Farm Day is almost upon us and I know this because AOBA just sent me an email to remind me.......
You need a break from all the media frenzy for the election and back to school sales. You need to close your office door and make your plans for National Alpaca Farm Days! Let your creative side come out and have fun with your ideas!
Won’t it be a lot more fun to share your love of alpacas with interested people? Wouldn’t it be relaxing to share your knowledge, show your favorite juveniles to folks that think you’re the smartest person they’ve ever met! It’s always satisfying to demonstrate your knowledge of livestock and then tell them before you became an alpaca breeder you didn’t know how to give an injection on an animal, what EPD meant or how much hay cost!!!
All of which makes me wonder if registration is well down this year....only two weeks to go and they are still beating the marketing drum...
But what really pleased me was that EPDs were mentioned as something alpaca farmers should know about!
Well I can't argue with that - in fact I couldn't agree more. So if you don't know what EPDs are or what they will mean for your alpacas then take yourself off to
www.epdlibrary.org and do some armchair research into alpaca EPDs....you will feel much better for it.
