AOBA was formed for the
following purposes. (1) To promote public awareness and membership
appreciation of the Alpaca's unique qualities; (2) To educate the
membership on the care and breeding of the Alpaca; (3) To promote the
growth of the Alpaca industry as a whole; and (4) To foster the
establishment of the breed outside of its native land by encouraging
husbandry and breeding practices based upon, but not limited to, herd
health, overall soundness, and alpaca fiber production and products.
To further promote the successful
future of the Alpaca industry, AOBA cooperates and works with the
following national and international associations: The Alpaca Registry
Inc. (ARI); International Llama Registry (ILR), the Alpaca Fiber
Cooperative of North America (AFCNA), the Alpaca Research Foundation (ARF),
