Have you been thinking about raising rare suri alpacas and wonder how to get started? If so, you cannot afford to miss THE SURI ADVANTAGE seminar. This is the first seminar of its kind to focus solely on the exquisite suri alpaca. Learn everything you need to know from basic care and management to evaluation and selection of breeding stock.

This is a 1 day seminar, and specific topics include:

  • . . . AND MUCH MORE!

LEARN from experienced, champion suri breeders. Raising suri alpacas is a unique niche and requires a focused approach. Patti Anderson of Wild Rose Suri Ranch and LuAnn Lumsden of Chesapeake Alpacas have a combined 20+ years of raising and selling suri alpacas and will share their insights and secrets of success in the industry. PREVIEW STARTER PACKAGES. One of the best ways to get started with suris is to purchase a “starter herd.” You will have the opportunity - in a relaxed, no pressure environment - to view packages that have been carefully selected and matched to maximize your potential return.
