On January 11, I received an e-mail from the university of Masschusetts inviting me to the 2006 Camelid Conference. As I read the invitation I saw many of the nations best camelid veterinarians were going to be speaking at this conference on various subjects concerning the alpacas, and llamas welfare. One of the subject is going to address the newest concern in the alpaca community, (BVDV).
The cost of this 2 day conference was only $250. I felt the cost of learning all I can about Alpacas and their well being, from the best in the business was well worth the $250 dollar plus the cost of traveling from Colorado to Masschusetts.
Alpacas are our life and our joy, Our philosophy is if your going to do something you need to live , eat , sleep, and breath what you do. Alpacas are what we do. The alpaca doesn't have a choice on where it going to reside, and who will be taking care of it.
As a new creature in our homeland we owe it to the Alpacas to learn all we can about the health of these beautiful animals. After all think of the great joy you feel when you see these animals pronging through the fields of your farm, and the smile each one of their new cria's put on your face.
I hope to learn all I can at this conference, so I can mentor others caring farms and ranches in there venture with Alpacas, and insure the safety and healthy life of these God given creatures.
I look forward to posting the results of my trip to the 2006 Camelid Conference.
Terry.
