Let us take your alpacas to the show for you!
We've been running a Show Buddies Program for the last two years and we do about 15 shows per year. This is a great opportunity to get your name out there, get your animals some ribbons, and get some feedback on your breeding program.
Why do we do this? The Show Buddies Program started out of necessity because we only had one alpaca worthy of taking to the shows and we needed a buddy to go with him to the shows. The concept grew quickly because many farms only have one animal to show, can't get off work to go to the shows, don't want to show, or are too far from most shows.
When an alpaca enters the ring it's important that it is set up squarely for the judge to view it to gain the best possible first impression. Experienced handlers can make a huge difference in winning a ribbon. Between the three handlers at Mada Vemi Alpacas we've shown for over 50 different farms - winning ribbons for both our own farms and many others! |

| Veronica does it again - clean sweep! |  | | Pricing and Terms
We charge $200 per animal per show. The owner is responsible for the cost of pen space, halter fee, and other show expenses but we try to split pen space fees up by the number of animals attending if possible. This Show Buddies fee includes filling out show paperwork, displaying your business cards, hanging your banner, talking to people about your animal, and it includes their care while they stay at our farm during the show season. Any vet expenses are the owner's responsibility. | |

Additional Details
The Show Buddies Program is designed to reduce stress on the animals. All the Show Buddies live together, eat the same food, drink the same water, and get to know each other prior to going to the first show. The Show Buddies live together, show together and stay quarrantined together from the beginning of the show season until the end. They are a "herd" and therefore tend to be less stressed since they do everything together as a herd.
