June 28th, 2003 Alpaca Education and Ranch Open House
Elbert, Colorado

Update on the Nutrition and Fiber Seminars held on June 28, 2003 at the Weather'd T Ranch.

Our guest speakers were Dr. Norman Evans, DVM, LAMA Wellness Service and Ruth Elvestad, R & R Alpacas Ltd. 

We would like to thank the speakers as well as each person attending for an excellent day of learning and talking "alpaca".

At the end of day, Gary and I felt it had been a very educational day as well as a fun day to get acquainted with other alpaca owners.

Yes, if you missed this one………..we are planning to have another ranch day in the Spring of 2004 featuring Nutrition and Fiber. Two very important elements in the well being of our alpacas that go hand-in-hand.

Alpacas are unique, contact Weather’d T Ranch to learn more!
