October
Alpaca Dollar$ and Sense
October 4th 

If you have ever wondered what the alpaca lifestyle is all about and if it could be for you, we have a seminar you won't want to miss. Alpaca Dollars and Sense is sponsored in cooperation by two alpaca farms with over a decade of combined years experience in the alpaca industry.

Through this seminar we will be opening our farms to folks who are interested in learning more about breeding and raising alpacas either as a hobby or as a business.

This informative seminar will take place on October 4th starting at 9:00 a.m. in Bergen, NY. The seminar will be presented in three parts including both formal and informal information sessions and hands-on experience for all participants.

If you've ever thought 'alpacas might be for me', opportunity is knocking and this is the one you've been waiting for. Take advantage of the rare opportunity to visit two farms back-to-back to learn how each operates their breeding business. In the formal information session, we will cover topics including the benefits of raising alpacas, the care and maintenance of alpacas, general husbandry, the tax benefits of livestock ownership, what makes alpacas valuable and just what we do with them. Each farm will also present an informal 'workshop in the pasture' and discuss their day-to-day occupations. The hands-on experience part of the seminar will offer you a close-up look at alpacas and their luxurious fiber.

Let us share our experience with you!

To register for the Alpacas Dollars and Sense Seminar, please call 585-494-1371 or visit our website at www.AlpacaDollarsAndSense.com.
