More small farms with fewer than ten or fifteen alpacas are being established each year.  The industry is supported by one of the most impressive pedigree registries in the world - The Alpaca Registry, Inc.  Monica is currently serving on the Board of the ARI.  The other national organization is the Alpaca Owners and Breeder Association (AOBA) which throughout the years has produced and regularly broadcasts a thirty minute infomercial on the industry.  The general public has a better understanding and acceptance of these wonderful livestock.  Check out these articles and if you have more questions, send us an email and we’d be happy to answer them.
