  • 9 - 10 am –  "How Sorting Maximizes your Fleece Production," Georgia Meyer.  Learn the different ways you can use the fiber from your alpacas. She'll explain the difference between the blanket (firsts), neck (seconds), and leg and belly fleece (thirds). She'll talk about going for rovings to yarn to finished wearable garments. Georgia started with the purchase of several alpacas where she learned about the value of their fleece. This led to her becoming a certified sorter. She then went on to get her own line of socks. 
     

  • 11 am - noon – "Alpaca Health and Nutrition," Dr. Raul Landeo. The session will focus on health issues encountered by those raising alpacas. Bring your questions. A graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Veterinary Medicine, Dr. Landeo, who grew up in Lima, Peru, practices at Lodi Veterinary Group. He and his wife, Brook, own Hillsboro Alpaca Ranch.
