We have proven experience in running successful seminars for alpaca breeders over the last few years through organising the 'National Alpaca Fibre Seminars'.
We bring these same skills to our workshops conducted on our farm at Candelo near Bega or at your stud.

Workshops can be run on a one to one basis or as a group, there is no minimum number required.

Each workshop is designed to allow plenty of time for questions & each participant or couple receives a full set of notes to take home for further reference.

Refreshments supplied.
