ILR ALL AMERICAN LLAMA

To be awarded at the Gathering. This award is for the overall halter, fleece, and performance winner. Points per class will be awarded based on the published ILR point chart. For the performance portion, only one performance class will count. The performance class used will be the performance class yielding the highest points. For example, if a llama places 6^th, 7^th and 3^rd  in each of their performance classes, and each class has 10 animals, then the 3^rd  place would be used for the All American Llama. This award will be presented at the ILR Awards Dinner at the Gathering. 

We will have at least 4 Pot of Gold classes at the Gathering, all with cash prizes.  There will be a junior and senior (based on animal age) halter class and also a junior and senior performance class. Animals have to be nominated by the breeder.

A special award will be present to the Composite Champion. To compete for this, you  must enter halter and fleece-on and the composite class.
