Jared from Alpaca Culture speaks with Lisa Beatty from Rockstar Alpacas, at the 2012 International Alpaca Odyssey in Ventura California.
As usual, the IAO has acknowledged the efforts of breeders here in the United States very well. Two new aspects of the show were introduced this year. The first was the ability to award multiple first place winners. So, if two animals in a class are seen to possess champion qualities then the judges were able to award multiple first-place ribbons to those animals.
Also a newly recognized Processing Length Championship was introduced. This is the first time it has been offered in any show. IAO recognized those breeders who chose for both health and environmental reasons to shear their Suris every year. Because of this, the show had a huge turnout of previously shorn Suris that would otherwise have been absent.
