Today we had the wrap up meeting for Alpacamania, the annual alpaca show in this part of the world. It runs for two days on Columbus weekend and was a huge success. Its always a pleasure to be involved with an event that is well received and this was a big hit with all the attendees.

There are always things we can learn and the checking of microchips in animals prior to vet inspection is certainly something SOJAA (State of Jefferson Alpaca Association) the shows organisers will be looking to improve for 2006. SOJAA is a very friendly group of alpaca breeders from Southern Oregon and Northern California we meet once a month more or less and organise Alpacamania each year.
