conformation optimizes bone and joint health throughout the life of
the animal and therefore is important to its well-being. An alpaca
with crooked legs has a much greater chance of developing early
"wear and tear" pathology of bones and joints, such as joint pain
and arthritis; than one with correctly aligned legs.
