JUST A WORD OR TWO……...

PRESIDENT’S REPORT

AAA SA President’s Report – August 2013

Notion for these ramblings – The Alpaca “Industry” ... ??

In light of a flurry of recent media reports about the expanding scope of the use of alpaca in this country, are we

now approaching the point where we can truly regard our obsession with these enchanting animals as an

“industry” ... ?? While many of our members are delighted to work with their alpacas as breeding stock, lawn

mowers, fleece manufacturers, pets and providers of great delight and unique ornamental appeal in our paddocks,

there are some who are exploring other uses, including innovative breeding techniques, export of stud animals,

emerging pelt and meat opportunities. While we each choose our level of involvement with alpaca, it has been

refreshing to witness an acceptance that others are able to also choose their preferred aspects of the “industry”, in

which to be involved. From the perspective of Australian Alpaca Association, I am cognisant that as your elected

representatives, your committee will endeavour to be appraised of all developments within the industry, in order

that we can effectively advocate on your behalf, should the need arise.

This moment of reflection has coincided with the driving wind and rain that has lashed the paddocks and we are

eagerly awaiting the imminent spring ... The financial year is over, the almond blossom festival is packed away for

next year ... spring must almost be here .... surely...

The first of the South Australian spring shows has also passed into history. Congratulations to James Wheeler and

his team for their hard work to ensure another successful Colour Classic Show. This year saw this popular show in a

new venue at Strathalbyn – a welcome shelter from the blustery conditions for the Saturday. By all accounts, this

was a great venue and the show was enjoyed by many happy exhibitors. We were indeed fortunate to have Peter

Kennedy from Canchones Alpacas as the judge, ably assisted by the new apprentice judge Dean Ford, from Vista del

Sud Alpacas. Sincere thanks to them both, for a complex task undertaken with aplomb. Congratulations to all those

who exhibited at Colour Classic – it was a vision splendid to walk into the venue and the display of ribbons across so

many pens shows the breadth and depth of talent – well done to all. (A full list of results from Colour Classic

appears later in this edition of Read n Breed.)

The regional Annual Meeting was held on the Saturday of the Colour Classic Show. Many thanks to the many who

chose to contribute their time and attention to the matters of the meeting. It was a brief meeting (as all good

meetings are) and I am happy to report that last year’s committee has agreed to continue in their current roles for

the region. The executive remains unchanged, but we have regretfully, bid farewell to Julianne Buckley from

Buckley Estate Alpacas. Julianne has pressing commitments in other parts of her very busy life, which do not permit

her to continue with the regional committee. I am sure you will all join me in extending sincere thanks and

appreciation for her contribution and the wise council she contributed to our deliberations. The region is also

indebted to Julianne for the ongoing support of the printing and publishing of our regional newsletter, the “Read n

Breed”, which she arranges with the generous sponsorship of Konica Minolta.

No matter your choice of involvement in our wonderful industry, there are always opportunities for you to

contribute to the wider alpaca community. Please consider how you may be involved in any of the region’s

activities, forums, education events and workshops – we are as rich as the members who contribute, and we look

forward to sharing your experience and perspective.


PRESIDENT’S REPORT

“ Even if you are on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there”.

Will Rogers

As spring draws near, it prompts a timely reminder that our annual shearing is fast approaching. It is time to re-

flect on our practices and carefully consider how to best set up for the job of harvesting our valuable commodity –

alpaca fleece. No matter how or where you find a market for your fleece, the resounding message seems to be the

need to ensure high standards of handling, classing and cleaning in order that each fleece can attract its maximum

value. There are a number of options to secure a market for your fleece and we will endeavour to provide infor-

mation about these options as they become available. Referring again to the notion of an “Alpaca Industry” (as

opposed to a cottage industry), a range of suppliers seeking sustainable quantities of quality fleece will be the

hallmark of our fleece industry, moving forward. There are signs that this is not the distant future, but is at hand,

for those willing to impose strict disciplines on their shearing and fleece handling protocols, in order to secure a

sustainable fleece future. We look forward to learning how this has been achieved and to sharing the experience

and insights that will allow us all to move to this sustainable future...

Spring also brings a flurry of shows to the calendar, in the lead up to shearing. In South Australia, we will have the

Royal Adelaide Show (6th to 9th September), Strathalbyn Show (7th October) and Clare Show (19th October). There

are a coterie of interstate shows, including the National Show and Sale being held in Bendigo this year (9th to 14th

October). Best wishes to all those who will be taking their alpacas to the shows – especially those who are making

the trek interstate. From those of us who tend to be based we in South Australia, we delight in hearing of your

successes – fly the flag for us all.

Please join with me in extending my sincere thanks again to the regional committee for their tireless efforts, as

they explore how best to represent your needs and to provide resources and support for your alpaca endeavours.

Best wishes,

Greg Scarlett

Marketing News

Colour Classic

The venue and show itself have already received the well deserved compliments elsewhere in

this issue of ReadnBreed, however from a marketing perspective, congratulations to the CC

team for the way they were able to secure outside sponsorship and support from the local

business community. Not only was there a financial benefit, but a significant amount of local

products ensuring nearly everyone (except the writer) received a prize in the raffle. It was al-

so good to see a number of the general public visit over the two days and engage in conversa-

tion with our breeders.

National Alpaca Week 2014

In light of the National Conference next year, please note the dates for NAW next year are be-

ing looked at to ensure there is no conflict between the two events. We expect a change of

date, if any, will only be very minor. We will confirm dates as soon as we are advised by Na-

tional Office.

Royal Adelaide Show

Planning is well underway for the trade stand at this year’s show and as advised in an earlier

email, we are expanding the content of the display to include samples of the end product of

the total industry. This is planned to include details about the animals themselves, fleeces,

spinning, felting, alpaca related merchandise sold by members and the emerging meat com-

ponent of our industry. Please note the stand is an information facility only and we are not

permitted to sell any product from the stand. Thank you to those members who have already

donated product samples for inclusion in the display.

Thank you also to those of you who have volunteered to staff the stand during the show. Your

time promoting the alpaca industry is of great benefit to all our members and we trust you

will be able to promote your own business in the process. At time of writing, there are still a

few shifts remaining, so if you are able to help, that would be much appreciated.

National Alpaca Conference

We trust you are all aware of the conference which will be held at the Adelaide

Convention Centre from 9-11 May 2014. For those of you on Facebook, you can keep up to

date on progress by “liking” our page entitled Australian Alpaca Conference 2014. The page is

currently being followed by over 170 members from over 17 different countries and every

continent except Antarctica.

Most of the conference organising committee are heading across the ditch to the World Con-

ference in New Zealand during September and be part of the AAA trade stand to promote our

conference.

Show Season

Show season is well under way, both locally and across the border, so best wishes to all, espe-

cially those of you flying the SA flag at Colourbration and the Nationals.

Cheers

TREASURER’S REPORT

Treasurers Report - end of financial year June 2013

The AAA SA region MYOB data is reconciled to the latest bank statement of June 30th 2013.

The investment account had a balance of $ 17,668.00 The general cheque account had a balance of

$ 9,880.73

Income into the general cheque account so far this financial year has totaled $ 47,164.09. Most of this income is received from

the member capitation rebate, merchandise (including the old pen panel sales), alpaca show income, advertising, and the WFI

commission.

Expenses from the general cheque account this financial year have totaled $ 37,327.13. Our main expenses have included the pur-

chase of a shipping container to store SA region equipment, materials for the new lightweight pen panels and alpaca show expens-

es. Other expenses include region meeting and newsletter office supplies, region catering, trailer insurance, website hosting, Na-

tional Alpaca Week venue hire, advertising and panel transport, the Jodie Christian memorial trophy, Junior Judging and fleece col-

lection costs.

We have recorded a net profit in the cheque account of $ 9,836.96.

In summary the region is currently in a sound financial position, primarily due to -

Income derived this year from the old pen panel sales. We acknowledge with huge thanks the role Derrick Hall has

played in donating countless hours for the manufacture of both the old and new panels.

The enormous generosity of Konica Minolta through Julianne Buckley, printing the SA region magazine at no

cost.

Thanks also to past treasurer Wendy Jones teaching me the basics of the MYOB accounting program, and the support of Janette

Law from the AAA head office facilitating direct EFT bank transfers for payment of approved accounts. I would encourage all sup-

plier invoices and AAA SA region reimbursement forms to be presented with EFT bank transfer details to enable faster payment

than the alternative method of counter signing cheques.

Caring for your

Animals in these colder months Rain, sleet, snow, ice, freezing temperatures - winter can be a real struggle for two- or

four-legged animals. Those of us with two legs can generally put on a warmer coat or go

inside to warm up with a cup of something hot, but what can livestock owners do to keep

animals healthy and comfortable in winter?

WATER

The necessity of a clean and reliable year-round source of water cannot be overemphasized. Generally animals don’t drink

enough water in the colder months and may require salts added to their diet to encourage adequate drinking.

Ensuring adequate water intake will encourage optimal health and performance of livestock and help prevent serious condi-

tions such as colic and impactions.

ENERGY REQUIREMENTS

Livestock’s maintenance nutritional requirements can increase significantly during cold weather. Requirements increase dramati-

cally if animals become wet and/or there is appreciable wind. Lowest critical environmental temperatures (LCT) for livestock vary

according to species and researchers, but 20° C is often used as the lowest temperature dry livestock can tolerate without addi-

tional energy demands to support normal body temperature. Energy requirements for an animal with a healthy and dry winter

coat increase by one percent for every degree the wind chill temperature falls below the LCT. Energy requirements for an animal

with a wet coat increase by two percent for every degree

drop in the wind chill temperature.

Energy can be provided through grain or additional roughage (hay). Roughage is generally preferable due to its feeding safety, lower cost and greater heat released during digestion. The bacterial breakdown of roughage in the rumen and in the horse's cecum creates heat, so increase hay during colder-than-normal weather.

Grain supplementation rates will vary with species, and exercise regimes.

Some cold and wet weather conditions can result in predictions that livestock will need close to a 100% increase in energy re-quiremets to help them maintain normal body temperature and functions, but such a large, sudden and short-term increase in energy intake is not healthy for most animals. All dietary changes, be they increases or decreases, should be made gradually. Although dietary energy increases are necessary during bad weather, a better body condition helps insulate livestock and will fare better if they have sufficient body condition to call upon during times of need. Ensuring they have this adequate body con-dition before the cold sets in is wise. Body condition scoring requires hands-on assessment of animals, feeling along their spine for sufficient body mass.

Horses can be rugged to retain body heat for individual animals. Regularly look beneath the rug to inspect their body condi-tion. Similarly animals with a fleece; alpacas and sheep, can often disguise their body condition to look better than it is.

Body condition scores of livestock in the winter should be three or four on this scale.

-body condition score 1 -body condition score 3

From a Vet’s perspective...............


FEEDING

With daily hand feeding, managers will have a better sense of individual animal’s health, appetite, and adequate require-

ments met. Feeding big bales to a group of animals once a day or even less often saves labor, but individual animal health

can be overlooked.

Pregnant, young and elderly animals are an important group to feed separately. Failing to meet their nutritional needs may

result in stunted animals, poor milk production, abortions, weakness and or death.

Animals kept on pasture alone, may not get sufficient supplies, just because the paddocks are green, doesn’t mean they are

meeting adequate nutritional needs for the cold conditions.

Teeth still need to be checked to maintain normal eating and digestion requirements.

SHELTER

Shelter is another obvious winter livestock management concern. Animals do not necessarily need or want to live in an enclosed shed/barn every day in the winter and are not practical for large herds of animals such as beef cattle. Protection from wind and rain will decrease energy requirements and feed costs and increase animal comfort. Three-sided sheds, hills and trees can all serve as adequate breaks from the prevailing winds, and checking stock after a storm is recommended. If animals do not have enough space and variety of landscape to se-lect a spot protected from the elements, a shelter should be provided. If a structure is provid-ed, be sure to keep the bedding dry and as clean as possible. Bedding helps insulate animals from the cold ground. However, in bedding soiled with animal wastes, ammonia fumes can build up quickly in the lower 40cm where recumbent animals breathe; irritated respiratory lining is then very susceptible to pneumonia causing bacteria and viruses. Provide good venti-lation so the air seems fresh, but do not permit drafts in the structure.

MUD MANAGEMENT

All too often, where there are animals in the winter, there is mud. With good management and planning, the negative environmental and animal health impacts of mud can be minimized. Mud is most commonly found where animals are forced or choose to congregate. Mud makes foot and hoof diseases such as seedy toe, foot abscesses, greasy heel, skin condi-tions and thrush more likely and it causes animals to be perpetually chilled. The wetness of mud can make parasite survival more likely as well. Also consider older livestock that are not so sure footed with slip-pery sloping hills sides, that may become cast and not be able to get up.

TAKE HOME MESSAGE

Addressing the special nutritional, environmental and health needs of livestock in the winter will help ensure opti-

mal animal welfare and performance.

Monitor body condition regularly, observation of weight loss indicates insufficient calorie intake. And

special note must go to fleeced animals (sheep and alpacas) which MUST be palpated (along their

spine) to ascertain this!!

Animal health & husbandry

What to look for in a Suri

Although a suri looks very different from the more common huacaya, the conformational traits to look out for are generally the

same. The animal should be well proportioned, have straight legs and back, a rounded rump and correct bite. The ears may be

slightly longer and the muzzle shorter than a huacaya.

Conformation

As outlined in the AAA Breed Standard

· well grown (doesn't affect the genetics but will increase fertility, reproduction, health)

· straight back

· straight tail

· animal in proportion - back, legs, neck in proportion.

· teeth

· size and conformity of testicles in male

Fleece

As outlined in the AAA Breed Standard the characteristics of the fleece are what distinguish the suri. When assessing a suri, you

should look for the following.

· lustre

· fineness

· density

· handle

· length

· locking

· colour integrity

Lustre - perhaps the single most important characteristic of suri fibre, lustre is the shine inherent to the most exquisite fleeces -

open up a fleece to assess the lustre next to the skin. Lustre is influenced by consistency of colour and micron of the fleece, as well as

the structure of the fibre (i.e. the more spherical the fibre is, the more it will reflect light). It can also be influenced by dirt and dust.

Although there are a lot of variables, including genetic influencers, because white (and often black) animals are a consistent colour,

they usually have greater lustre than coloured animals. Use a subjective score of 5 (no lustre) to 1 (extreme lustre) to assess

animals against each other. The more animals you assess, the better you will get at making this subjective measurement. Remember

though, that environmental impacts, such as nutrition, dust in the fleece and illness or stress can impact on lustre.

Fineness - the finer the fleece, the softer and more lustrous it is and the higher its price. In Peru, fibre of different classes is mixed

together for processing. Some believe this gives Australia an opportunity to develop a world market in superfine suri.

The current AAFL classes for fineness are:

A look into Suri Alpacas

Continued Overleaf

Part 2



Continued Overleaf

Fineness should be uniform over the body of the animal from the neck through the body to the

rump. Assessment of fineness can be done visually (this takes some practice) or using a fibre

testing laboratory (the output of which is a detailed report and histogram showing distri-

bution of fibre micron in the sample). To assess fineness visually, take a sample of fleece (it is

often a good idea to do this on a number of different sites on the animal - shoulder, midside and

rump), spread the fibres into a spider web and lay against a dark background for light fibres or

light background for dark fibres. You should be able to see the fineness of the fibres, as well as

any coarser fibres or guard hairs in the sample.

Laboratory analysis will provide a significant amount of information on the sample analysed (either a midside sample or an

all-over fleece grid sample). The histogram will indicate the uniformity of the micron. A coefficient of variation (CV) should be less

than 20% to indicate consistency of micron. Remember there will be some variation of results between different labs, different

measurement machines used, inconsistencies in sampling, etc., so beware of using histogram results as absolutes.

Suris naturally have less medullation than huacayas, but this is something to look for when assessing an animal or a fleece. While

some medullated (or hollow) fibres are acceptable in a fleece, the coarse medullated fibres called guard hairs cause problems in

processing and increase the prickle factor of finished goods. To assess for medullated fibres, pull at the tip of a lock - the

medullated fibres will be obvious as coarser and straight fibres sticking out the top.

Lock 'architecture' - well-defined pencil locks which persist throughout the fleece (not just on the surface) and are evident right to

the skin. These can be curled, twisted or waves, but must hang down in individual locks. While there are a variety of different lock

styles, current research has identified four locking styles. These are:

Whatever the lock style, a good example of locking should be consistent over the animal, from forelock to tail and should continue

for the whole length of the staple (from tip to skin). Often when the fleece becomes longer, the tight twist evident at the tip flattens

into a fan-shape where it joins the skin. The best and more densely fleeced animals have tight locks right to the skin.

Density - is important in regard to return for fleeces and it also helps keep out dust and vegetable matter. Density is difficult to

determine on an animal, although grabbing and lifting the fibre will give an indication of the amount of fleece (number of fibres)

and fleece weight (determined by length, micron and number of fibres in a handful) on an animal.

The scientific method of determining density is to take a skin biopsy and determine the secondary to primary hair follicle ratios

and number of hair follicles in a square millimetre of skin. Holt & Watts (2005) found that finer animals have a higher secondary to

primary follicle ratio and greater follicle density. However, the breeder can identify dense animals by recording fleece weights and

staple length at each shearing.

Uniformity - the locking and fineness should be uniform over the body of the animal from the neck through the body to the rump

and even extending down on the legs. When assessing an animal, open up and sample fibre from the shoulder, midside and rump.

Also look at the forelock for medullation and locking and the tail (particularly important in previously shorn animals to assess

locking. It is common for there to be differences in quality of locking style across the body or from one side of the animal to

another, particularly in coloured animals. Remember to check the apron for coarse fibres and guard hairs.

Coverage - the suri should be well covered, with a long forelock, fleece on cheeks and chin, the front and rear legs should be well

covered with consistent locking to the toes.

Colour - colour is personal choice; the whites and light fawns are more common (about 90% of Peruvian clip), but are generally of

higher quality than the rarer coloured suris. Colour should be consistent across the body.

Length - Suri fleece generally grows 10-16 cm per year (more in the first year and less as they age). The acceptable lengths for pro-

cessing suri are:

S1 (superfine) < 20 micron

S2 (fine) 20-23 micron

S3 (medium) 23-28 micron

S4 (strong) 28-32 micron

S5 (extra

strong)

30-34 micron



Fineness should be uniform over the body of the animal from the neck through the body to the rump. Assessment of fineness can

be done visually (this takes some practice) or using a fibre testing laboratory (the output of which is a detailed report and

histogram showing distribution of fibre micron in the sample). To assess fineness visually, take a sample of fleece (it is often a

good idea to do this on a number of different sites on the animal - shoulder, midside and rump), spread the fibres into a spider

web and lay against a dark background for light fibres or light background for dark fibres. You should be able to see the fineness

of the fibres, as well as any coarser fibres or guard hairs in the sample.

Laboratory analysis will provide a significant amount of information on the sample analysed (either a midside sample or an

all-over fleece grid sample). The histogram will indicate the uniformity of the micron. A coefficient of variation (CV) should be

less than 20% to indicate consistency of micron. Remember there will be some variation of results between different labs, differ-

ent measurement machines used, inconsistencies in sampling, etc., so beware of using histogram results as absolutes.

Suris naturally have less medullation than huacayas, but this is something to look for when assessing an animal or a fleece. While

some medullated (or hollow) fibres are acceptable in a fleece, the coarse medullated fibres called guard hairs cause problems in

processing and increase the prickle factor of finished goods. To assess for medullated fibres, pull at the tip of a lock - the

medullated fibres will be obvious as coarser and straight fibres sticking out the top.

Lock 'architecture' - well-defined pencil locks which persist throughout the fleece (not just on the surface) and are evident right to

the skin. These can be curled, twisted or waves, but must hang down in individual locks. While there are a variety of different lock

styles, current research has identified four locking styles. These are:

Whatever the lock style, a good example of locking should be consistent over the animal, from forelock to tail and should continue

for the whole length of the staple (from tip to skin). Often when the fleece becomes longer, the tight twist evident at the tip flat-

tens into a fan-shape where it joins the skin. The best and more densely fleeced animals have tight locks right to the skin.

Density - is important in regard to return for fleeces and it also helps keep out dust and vegetable matter. Density is difficult to

determine on an animal, although grabbing and lifting the fibre will give an indication of the amount of fleece (number of fibres)

and fleece weight (determined by length, micron and number of fibres in a handful) on an animal.

The scientific method of determining density is to take a skin biopsy and determine the secondary to primary hair follicle ratios

and number of hair follicles in a square millimetre of skin. Holt & Watts (2005) found that finer animals have a higher secondary

to primary follicle ratio and greater follicle density. However, the breeder can identify dense animals by recording fleece weights

and staple length at each shearing.

Uniformity - the locking and fineness should be uniform over the body of the animal from the neck through the body to the rump

and even extending down on the legs. When assessing an animal, open up and sample fibre from the shoulder, midside and rump.

Also look at the forelock for medullation and locking and the tail (particularly important in previously shorn animals to assess

locking. It is common for there to be differences in quality of locking style across the body or from one side of the animal to

another, particularly in coloured animals. Remember to check the apron for coarse fibres and guard hairs.

Coverage - the suri should be well covered, with a long forelock, fleece on cheeks and chin, the front and rear legs should be well

covered with consistent locking to the toes.

Colour - colour is personal choice; the whites and light fawns are more common (about 90% of Peruvian clip), but are generally of

higher quality than the rarer coloured suris. Colour should be consistent across the body.

Twist ringlet

the staple twists around to form a ringlet which hangs straight down from the

animal.

Wave and twist ringlet

the twist ringlet also has a wave so that it does not hang perfectly

straight.

Corkscrew

the staple forms a tight corkscrew-type wave (a more pronounced version of

the wave & twist).

Broad wave

the staple forms a broad wave with less evidence of twist.

Length - Suri fleece generally grows 10-16 cm per year (more in the first year and less as they age). The acceptable lengths for pro-

cessing suri are:

AAFL is hoping to develop a use for suri fleece under 90mm but the quantity currently received is small and will take time to in-

crease to a commercial quantity. Greater than 150 mm is overgrown and cannot be processed by AAFL at this time. However, there

are some mini-mills and other small volume processors that can process these longer fibres.

Length, in addition to micron and density, contributes to total fleece weight (and hence, value of the fleece) and so must be con-

sidered in breeding decisions (as long as annual fleece growth is within the classes above).

Applicability to the AGE

Australian suri breeders are developing criteria to use in the Across-herd Genetic Evaluation (AGE) service for alpaca, which will

allow evaluation of animals within a breeder's herd and assist in making breeding decisions by comparing estimated breeding val-

ues for stud sires.

Easy care suri alpacas

Alpacas are hardy and generally disease and parasite resistant. They require basic care comprising vaccinations every six months,

occasional toenail and teeth trimming and annual shearing. They are very easy to herd and handle.

ABOUT ALPACA HALTERS

With a new crop of weanlings in our paddocks and the Spring shows coming along, it is timely to refresh our

understanding of halters and halter fitting. There are quite a few different halter styles on the market but not

all of them are good for our alpacas. With a little time, and correct handling, most alpacas will train to lead

quite easily, however, a badly designed or incorrectly fitted halter will cause problems for you and discomfort

or panic for the animal.

Alpacas have a small head, particularly crias and weanlings. The nose bone is very short, followed by a section

of cartilage and then the soft tissue of the nose itself. Many people place the noseband of the halter midway

down the alpaca’s face, as you might with a horse. This is dangerous because it puts pressure on the cartilage

or soft nasal tissue and can cause behavioural problems through distress to the animal.

Correct placement of the noseband is to rest it on the bony part of the nose, just below the eyes (like high on

the bridge of your nose, where you would push a pair of glasses). The band should be neither too tight nor

too loose around the nose. Correct placement of the crown piece (the strap which goes behind the ears to

hold the halter in place) is behind and close to the base of the ears – not a hand span down the neck.

Remember to adjust the crown piece so that it correctly holds the noseband at the safe place on the nose.

Cross-over noseband halters – a webbing version of these was been marketed by the AAA for many years.

They are also available from other sources, sometimes in leather. They should NEVER be used to train an

animal to lead. The noseband and throat-lash are one piece which crosses over under the jaw, like a

figure-of-eight, passing through the leading ring. With the lead attached to the ring, any pressure pulls the

ring forward and it acts like a slipknot, constricting the band over the nose and forward onto the soft tissue.

This will constrict the animal’s breathing and cause it distress and panic. Basically, it is impossible to achieve a

correct and safe fit of the noseband with this style of halter because of the ring mobility. These also must

come in different sizes – NOTE a small halter with the headpiece let right out IS NOT correct or safe to use on

a larger animal.

Recommendation – if possible AVOID USE of this style of halter. If they must be used, only use on animals

which are already well-trained to lead, use the correct size for the animal and adjust it as correctly as possible.

Fixed noseband halters – these will come in various sizes. Usually available in leather or webbing designs. As

long as the noseband size is large enough to be comfortably placed in the correct position on the alpaca and

the headpiece can be adjusted to correctly hold that place, these are quite safe to use. The noseband and

throat-lash are separate pieces (although both pass through the leading ring) and therefore drag on the ring

when leading cannot constrict the noseband’s diameter.

Recommendation – use correct size and correct adjustment. Excellent halters.

Adjustable noseband halters – these can be adjusted at the noseband as well as the headpiece, therefore

one size can be adjusted to fit all but the largest and smallest of alpacas. A safe and economical halter style.

Usually available in leather or webbing designs. As with the fixed noseband halters, the noseband is separate

to the throat-lash, both pass through the leading ring, and drag on the ring will not constrict the noseband’s


diameter. The ‘plus’ with these is that the noseband can be adjusted to fit large or small animals so you only need

one halter size.

Recommendation – adjust noseband for correct fit first, before adjusting the headpiece for correct fit. Fit

individually for each animal. Excellent halters.

Cord and rope halters – some people like to use a type of colourful cotton rope halter designed for horses.

These are very bulky, usually have a slip mechanism at the noseband, and are really not scaled for alpacas.

Recommendation – not appropriate for alpacas and noseband not safe.

Another design of cord halter (Bungalook) has been widely marketed and used because some animals will lead

with it but apparently not with other halter styles. The reason it works is because the pressure to lead forward is

directed behind the animal’s head and not onto the nose. Animals may fail to lead with other halter types due to

- dangerous halter design and / or incorrect fit plus inexperienced trainer. This cord style is safe when the correct

size is used and it is fitted correctly.

Recommendation – these can be used safely as suggested, but may not be necessary if the trainer really

understands the mechanism of ‘leading’. If you do use this style, make sure you know how to smoothly fit and

remove the halter before beginning to train the animal.

Collar – a few people actually reduce leading to the basic element. A collar of leather or webbing (like a dog col-

lar) can be used but MUST placed high on the neck - roughly where the headpiece would fit behind the ears and

round the gullet. Not too tight or loose. Correct leading response comes from pressure from that area – NOT

from the noseband.

Recommendation – probably not for the inexperienced as it does not give the directional control of a halter with

noseband, but is less intrusive for the alpaca and many animals who are not destined for the show ring could be

easily led in this manner.

**************************

In conclusion, badly-designed or badly-fitted equipment can directly cause behavioural problems in your alpacas

when training or leading them. Your own inexperience might also add to the problems you encounter. Take a

step back and review the equipment you are currently using and how you go about the task… Your

alpacas will be grateful ! Denise Moysey

MEMBERS STORIES/EMAILS Hello Sue, I hope this story and pictures might be of interest to you.

Attached are pics of a cria with a make shift sunscreen hood. This pale skinned cria was diagnosed with sunburnt eyelids late last summer and the vet instructed us to keep him out of the sun. As we couldn't keep him and his mum in a stall or shade all day, I made this impromptu hood from shade cloth formed into a hood and attached to a small halter for stability. It worked a treat although it did take his mum a few days to get fully used to him with it on. The symptoms of the sunburn were squinting, watering eyes and inflamed conjunctiva, but with no sign of infection, ulceration or foreign body in the eyes. The lids themselves did not really look red or 'burned'. (I later had another cria show the same signs in one eye, and a makeshift eye patch cured the problem in a couple of days)

With this cria, Totem, he and his mum could be penned in full shade from 9am until about 1pm, then they had to be in sun, so the hood was required. It was removed in the evening each day and then replaced at 1pm the next day. He needed the hood on for about 8 days ?? and was then ok. He got very good about having it put on and taken off and has remained easy to handle because of the experience. Sunburn on crias' eyelids could be something for people to be aware of especially in summer. In retrospect, I believe that we have had a few cases of this over the years but have not identified it correctly. Cheers Denise Arcadian Alpaca’s

Totem getting the once-over from his curious playmate

Close up of hood - and yes ! he managed to see and get about and to drink perfectly well once he got

used to it - pretty quickly in fact !

The Deadline for the Summer edition of Read n Breed is Friday the 25th of October, 2013

From THE Editor

JUST A NOTE FROM THE EDITOR……

I hope you all enjoyed this edition of the Read n Breed.

I am always on the look out for members contributions and can’t stress enough how important you

are to the formation of the magazine. I know that you all are as busy with life as we are, but I ask

if you could spend just a few minutes next time you are on your computer looking at photo’s to flick

a few over for use in the magazine. Funny photo’s, serious ones, any will do. I am also looking for

photo’s to use on the front cover of each edition of the Read n Breed, so please remember to flick some

to me. In fact any little items that you think may be of interest to us, please send them through.

I personally would like to say what a great Show this years Colour Classic was. The venue was

fantastic and it was very well organised. Thankyou to James Wheeler, Wendy Jones & helpers for

all their efforts to bring us this show. A job well done!

cheers
