Suri Alpaca - "Rarest of Breeds, Ultimate Natural Fiber"

What's Next for our Industry?


The Suri Network Product Development Committee
presents

The Facts about your Fiber and its
Success in the Marketplace

 
How will your breeding program, pasture management, and
fiber preparation impact and shape our industry's future?



Suri Alpaca To help you start thinking and learning about these critical topics, the SNPDC will be offering seminars across the country to tackle these topics.  It will be a very "hands-on" seminar and we will offer evaluations after the class for anyone who wants to bring a fleece along!  From Oregon to Maine, we will be coming to a farm near you between May 1 and June 30!  The following farms will be hosting a seminar:
 

Oregon - Suri Futures
Colorado - Weather'd T Ranch
Minnesota - Little Gidding Farm Suri Alpacas
Missouri - Salt River Alpacas
Ohio - Hidden Hilltop Alpaca Ranch
South Carolina - Sea Ayre Suris
Maine - Royal River Alpaca Company


As our industry explores the use of Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs), creating a livestock model, and/or expanding our prospective customer base, BREEDERS will need to understand the practical applications of how their breeding and herd management decisions impact the end product market and what a new customer base might look for in our national herd. 
 
So stay tuned and we'll back to you soon with specific dates and other details!
