Providing Education and Information for THE ENTIRE ALPACA COMMUNITY
Powered by:
Camelid Community is the only national forum that offers the opportunity for dialog among representatives of national, regional and local camelid organizations as well as interested individuals and owners, providing a unique opportunity for an assessment of the "state of the union" of the camelid world. The first joint llama and alpaca meeting was held in 1998 and later became the Camelid Community. Camelid Community meets every year to discuss a variety of topics which are determined by its participants. This group works to find simple resolutions to problems that are currently affecting the camelid industry. Most recently, they have completed several educational pieces which are provided below.
