SEPTEMBER 2010 NEWSLETTER

The 9th Annual Canadian National Alpaca Sale & Futurity was a resounding success. Thanks to all of you who volunteered and/or participated.


Congratulations to Prairie Fire Alpacas for producing and showing the 2010 Supreme Champ - PF Hurricane's Tornado, sired by High Plains Hurricane. The Herdire Cup was awarded to High Plains Alpacas as owners of Hurricane.


Now it's time to start the wheels in motion for next year's event. Yes, it really will be the 10th Anniversary for CNASF.  It seems like yesterday that the founding farms discussed the "CNASF idea". 2011 will be the year of celebration, the year we look back at what has been a very successful and fun event, and also look forward to the future.  Please plan to join us in Red Deer, April 15-17th.

2010 CNASF Stud Service Auction

In 9 years the Stud Service Auction has raised over $650,000 and $595,000 of that has been paid out in Futurity prize money. Stud owners make the futurity the "big prize money" event that it is.

Please consider nominating your stud to the Stud Service auction. After he is nominated and receives a bid of at least $1000, then all his offspring born between April 18,2009 and November 16,2010 will be eligible to enter the 2011 Futurity.

Nomination of herdsires has begun. Go to the ON-LINE FORM on the website. Fill it out and click on the submit button. Nomination deadline is October 25. Studs will be added to the website as they are received. If you are unable to use the on-line form, send us an email and we will get a paper copy to you.

The auction runs for the entire month of November and will again be split in 4 groups of herdsires, with each group having a separate closing time, each 15 minutes apart. You will have lots of opportunity to bid on these amazing genetics and if you aren't successful in winning a stud service in one of the first groups, you can keep trying in another.

2011 Canadian National Alpaca Select Sale

The CNASF Select Sale has been very successful in the last 9 years. Plan to showcase your breeding program at this sale. In 2010, 43 sale entries were submitted and 24 were selected for the sale. We would like 24 entries for the 2011 sale and plan to continue with the 2 Wild Card entries again. The sale is scheduled for 7:00pm on Saturday, April 16th.
The Sale Entry form is available now on the website and is available as an on-line form.
Entry deadline is November 20. All CLAA registered alpacas are eligible, but the Selection Committee will be looking for quality breeding stock.


We are always looking for seminar/speaker suggestions. Send us an email if you have a good idea.
Remember that all alpacas entered in the Futurity must have their CLAA Registration papers before the show in April.
So why not get busy and register all your spring and summer crias right now!!
