Help the ILR Celebrate the International Year of the Working Llama! The year 2012 has been declared the International Year of the Working Llama. The Australian and New Zealand llama associations have decided to promote the working llamas and have invited the ILR to join their efforts, making this a truly international event! The Australians and New Zealanders are renaming their show categories to honor working llamas and promote the diverse uses that llamas have. “Working Llamas” is a large category that includes everything from commercial pack llamas to livestock guardians, driving llamas to pet therapy animals, and recreational hiking companions to show ring performance animals. Some of these working llamas are experts in their given career and others are all-around animals that are employed in a variety of categories. Don’t forget, all working llama activities can be entered in the ILR UAP log on the ILR website www.lamaregistry.com! The ILR plans to develop and distribute materials about working llamas and feature events that celebrate the working llama. Ø GATHERING DEDICATION – the 2012 International Gathering of Friends and Champions is dedicated to Bobra Goldsmith, Bobra had a love of Working Llamas and an appreciation of the diversity of llamas, and was a lifelong supporter of the llama industry.
