Manual order form
- The Rocky Mountain Llama and Alpaca
Association came into existence when a group of about 40
enthusiasts met in 1982 at Monument, Colorado, and joined together in an
effort to promote camelids to the general public and to help each other
learn about the wonders of lamas. Among the founders were
individuals interested in the use of lamas for their fiber and for
packing and hiking; persons who enjoyed their companionship as pets, and
serious breeders interested in breeding genetically sound animals.
- The founders were pioneers in promoting
soundness and conformational strengths in lamas, sharing experiences for
all uses of llamas and alpacas, and stimulating the beginnings of
research. RMLA was incorporated in 1983, making it one of the oldest
lama organizations.
- Today, the organization solidly continues in
the direction set by our founding members for the purpose of sharing
information about llamas and alpacas with fellow owners and the general
public.
Some of RMLA's Activities and
Benefits
This past year RMLA sponsored
26events for lamas including ALSA
(Alpaca & Llama Show Association) shows, the Jelly Bean Classic fun day, Fairplay Llama
Race, youth shows, Llamas & Kids in the Park and training clinics.
RMLA continues to support and
promote the very successful Fiber Co-op. The Co-op
has been successful in creating a marketplace for lama fiber and has
given RMLA members a sales outlet for the wonderfully soft, warm fiber
their animals are naturally producing.
RMLA publishes "Caring
for Llamas and Alpacas" . . . the industry standard. This book
covers all of the routine health maintenance issues concerning llamas
and alpacas in an easy to understand format. It has a list of poisonous
plants found in the Rocky Mountains and plans for you to build
restraint chutes to assist in the care of your lamas. 5th printing now available, with added
information.
The Service
Directory: "The Yellow Pages" of
the llama industry is distributed to over 1500 non-RMLA members each
year in the Rocky Mountain Region and continues to be your very best
means of advertising. All RMLA members received a copy of this
directory. It will be passed out at shows and county fairs, and
distributed to those seeking information about llamas or
alpacas. Don't miss this opportunity to promote your ranch or your
business.
