Secondly, we increase knowledge about alpacas through shows, farm open days, training courses and workshops. alpaca

Thirdly, the Alpaca Association of Ireland maintains a list of the alpacas in Ireland owned by AAI members.  In this way, we intend to create an international Breed Standard and use it to evaluate the quality of alpacas bred and bought by members for identifying and promoting high quality breeding stock. alpaca
