(JUNE 27-29, 2008) The North American Camelid Conference for Owners, Students, and Veterinarians:

Held at University of Massachusetts Amherst: 3 days of practical seminars by leading alpaca industry experts including veterinarians and breeders. Subjects of interest for beginning to advanced participants.

Past Events:

(MARCH 29, 2008) Shearing Clinic with Matt Best: (Description: "This Clinic, to be held at the Hadley farm, will teach you the basics about shearing alpacas. The goal of this course is for you to be able to go home and shear your own alpacas!") - The clinic was quite a success! We had a great turnout and Matt was kind enough to donate all of the proceeds from this clinic to the Camelid Studies Program! Stay posted for more news and info about the event... circumstances permitting, we hope to be able to hold this clinic again next spring!
