Have you ever looked for some information at
a place you know should have it and there is nothing to be found? That is the way lots of people feel when
they are searching for records on the ILR database.
This database is designed to provide information
to current llama owners, potential new owners and the public in general. The Registry was set up to maintain
records on each and every llama in the United States and beyond. In order to maintain that database, the Registry
depends on llama people to send them information about their herd, and that includes births, deaths, sales and
transfers of all kinds (including gifts, donations to research, etc.)
WOW - there are llamas in our database over 40
years old - according to the records of their birth. Chances are those llamas are long since deceased and
it has never been reported. Maintaining the accuracy of the database is vital to our industry.
Accuracy allows people to check the database
for ownership of animals, offspring of a certain animal and the colors or sex of those offspring. This helps
potential buyers determine if they want to purchase that genetic line, or perhaps purchase a breeding to a certain
stud. Further, this information is available 24/7 to anyone who wants to research the records. Talk about a fantastic
tool for marketing!!
It is vital that all llama owners report new
crias, deaths of existing llamas and alpacas, transfer of animals, donations of animals, etc. Please take the
time to keep our Registry current and accurate. The benefits to everyone are evident and depend on all of us
being conscientious in maintaining that accuracy.
