PEDIGREES

HALTER CLASSES: All llamas MUST have ILR or CLRC registrations; all alpacas AOA, ARI or CLRC registrations. Performance Animals or Non-Breeders classes do not need to be registered but must have a veterinarian certificate. HALTER: All llamas 5 months and older entered in approved classes, with the exception of performance classes, must be registered or have passed screening in the Llama Division of the International Llama Registry (ILR) or the Canadian Livestock Record Corporation (CLRC) or Alpaca Owners Association. Non-breeder llamas do not have to be registered or have passed screening with the ILR or the CLRC. If non-breeders are not registered and wish to be in the ALSA award system and wish to show in halter, they must show in the adult non-breeder halter class. Photocopies of registration papers must be sent with the entry form to show management for verification of name and age. Failure to meet this requirement prohibits entry in the show. Non-breeder llamas must be accompanied by a registration or veterinarian certificate verifying the animal is a gelding, a vasectomized male, or a spayed or non-reproductive female. Nursing llama mothers may not be accompanied in the ring by their babies.

EXHIBITORS

Exhibitors must be the registered owners and make entry in the exact names (owner and animal) as shown on the registration certificate. 4-H members using borrowed llamas are exempt as owners but must provide owner information and registrations of the llamas they are using, as well as have a permission to show form.

EXHIBITOR PACKET

Upon arrival, you will stop at the Check-In Trailer with your Health papers and receive your tickets and parking passes. You will then proceed to the Superintendent’s booth for further show information and pick up an Exhibitor Packet or make changes.

EXHIBITOR ATTIRE

Handler attire should be conservative, neat, and appropriate for the class. Shoes should be appropriate for the show ring and must completely cover the foot. Inappropriate footwear will disqualify the exhibitor, who will be dismissed from the show ring immediately. Suggested attire is dark pants, Bermuda shorts, knee-high culottes, or skirt (absolutely no short shorts, or spaghetti straps) and white shirt or blouse. Youth exhibitors are permitted to wear 4-H and FFA approved apparel in the show ring with personal names covered. Such FFA and 4-H apparel may be worn in youth classes only.

HEAT STRESS CONCERNS

1. If either show management or the show judge feels the heat and/or humidity is too high for the animals in the show, they may require all exhibitors to hose down their animals before entering the show ring.

2. One criteria might be if the ambient humidity and temperature are added together and the result is 150 or higher. 3. If the decision is made to hose down the animals, the animals can only be wet from the belly down the legs. 4. Shearing of heavy or medium woolen animals is the best prevention of heat stress.

LLAMA HALTER CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

1. Llama wool description: No wool class changes made at the show except by the judge. A: Suri - Lustrous, cool hand, lack of crimp and minimal loft, locked fiber that drapes over the llama's body. B. Light - Minimal body wool, short neck wool with smooth legs. C. Medium - Moderate to long body wool, minimal to moderate neck wool, smooth to moderate and leg wool. D. Heavy - Abundant body and neck wool with minimal to abundant leg wool (leg wool at least to knee and hock). Light and Medium WILL BE COMBINED IF THERE ARE NOT MORE THAN 3 ENTRIES PER CLASS. Superintendent will contact you after the final entry deadline if the classes will be combined. 2. All llamas must be entered into the wool division for which they are most appropriate at the time of the show. Shorn llamas MUST be shown in the wool division in which they would have been shown prior to shearing. Shearing used as a technique to gain entry to a different wool division is not permitted.





LLAMA AND ALPACA HALTER AGE DIVISIONS

Juvenile – 5 to 12 months Yearling – 12 to 24 months 2-Yr Old – 24 to 36 months Adult – 36 months & older

On a llama’s date of birth, the llama moves up to the next older class.

CLASS SELECTIONS

Make your class selections carefully on your entry form. There will be NO class changes allowed after the entry deadline except so ordered by the judge due to wool classifications. Produce & Sire Class Selections – 1) choice of produce and sire must be listed on the entry form; 2) must have respective registration papers included; and, 3) lot fee and ALSA animal fee must be included.

AGE DIVISION FOR YOUTH HANDLERS

Junior Ages 8 through 11 years Intermediate Ages 12 through 14 years Senior Ages 15 through 18 years Age is as of January 1st of the current year. Juniors may start on the dates of their 8th birthday. Youth who turn 19 after January 1st, but before the Grand National Show of their final showing year, may complete the year as a youth in the Senior division. In Youth Obstacle and Public Relations classes, Senior and Intermediate courses may be the same, but each age category must be judged, ended, and placed separately.

YOUTH

Three youth classes: Junior 8-11, Intermediate 12-14, Senior 15-18, may be combined in any combination if there are not eight in a youth division.

YOUTH GRAND & RESERVE CHAMPIONSHIP ELIGIBILITY

A youth must enter and compete in all three performance classes, Youth Obstacle, Youth Public Relations, and Youth Pack classes to be eligible to be awarded the Grand Championship. Tabulation will be done according to ALSA rules. Check your ALSA Handbook for llama/alpaca requirements used in the three performance classes (obstacle, public relations, and pack).

YOUTH AND INTACT ADULT LLAMA / ALPACA MALES

“It is recommended that exhibitors 8 years through 12 years of age not show intact males over 24 months of age, with the choice of acceptance or decline lying with show management and stated in their premium show booklet.” In light of the above statement, this management leaves the decision up to the parent or guardian whether an intact male is gentle and manageable enough for the youth in question to show. If there were a possibility of a problem, I would ask that the youth not show the llama/alpaca.

SUB-JUNIOR CLASS

Youth ages 4 through 7: Let us know if you have a sub-junior who would like to compete. There is no fee, ribbons only are awarded. Sub-juniors compete only in showmanship and one 8-element obstacle course

PERFORMANCE CLASS RULE

Animals may be entered in youth or non-youth classes, but not both. (See your current ALSA Handbook for complete youth rules.)

If in the opinion of the Herdsmanship Committee there are fewer than three (3) or no deserving exhibitors, awards will be given accordingly. See Open Class Herdsmanship Rules.

ORDER OF SHOW DISCLAIMER

The order of show is subject to change from the entry book listing pending outcome of the decision of the judge prior to show. The judge will notify all exhibitors of the order at the judge’s meeting held prior to the show. The judge may also combine classes if not enough entrants to compete to meet criteria for qualifying for Grand Nationals. Judges meetings will be held 1 hour prior to start of Show on Saturday. Any changes for order of the show will be officially announced at this time. Please be aware of this and remain flexible until final announcements are made for show times and class schedules.
