LOOKING TO THE FUTURE WITH OUR YOUTH!
This is a new concept to encourage our youth to participate in the fiber industry in America! Any interested child, regardless of age, can enter the competition! Do not have an animal to show? An established breeder will bring an animal for you to show at the Roundup. You can enter in the alpaca/llama showmanship and walking fiber classes. Need help in the show ring? An adult can be beside you during the judging if needed. Two different age groups are offered in judging. See the entry forms below for more information.
Need help in finding a fiber animal to show? We can help!
