National Llama Appreciation Day

The Greater Appalachian Llama and Alpaca Association (GALA) has initiated a national campaign to educate the general public about the history and virtues of llamas. We have designated June 21 for this special day because our summer solstice is simultaneously the winter solstice in the Andes, the ancestral home of the llamas. Plan an event this June to aid in this campaign to educate others on this wonderful animal.

Lamafest 2019

Lamafest 2019 is one of the largest llama shows and one of the longest running shows. The show is sponsored by the Michigan Lama Association and sanctioned for 2 llama shows, one for International Lama Registry Show Association (ILR) and one for Alpaca and Llama Show Association (ALSA) and will run for 2 days August 31 and September 1.
In the show arena there will be halter and showmanship classes plus the ever popular performance classes of obstacle, public relations and pack. We will have many vendors with items ranging from animal care products to unique gift and art items. There will be farm displays offering information on breeding programs and fun facts about llamas. Youth Judging is a valuable learning tool for more in depth learning about llamas and a chance to identify future judges. The costume class is entertaining to all and will be held at approximately noon on Saturday.
Corky Dubois and her group are again hosting a fabulous Silent Auction and the proceeds will go toward the youth scholarship fund.
So load up the family and come to Lamafest. Free parking, free admission, handicap accessible and full concessions on site.
For more information, contact Corky Dubois. 616 902-2382 or info@lamafest.com.

John Mallon Jackpot Obstacle clinic
Fehrenbach Farms Evart, Mi
Cost for this 1 day clinic is $135. It will include quick breakfast snacks (donuts, granola bars, etc) beverages through the day, and lunch. There will be a dinner option for after the clinic for those who are wanting to attend, or dinner on your own.

Guarantee

Your hands and your brain are the only tools used. John asks that you bring your worst-behaved llama or alpaca, and offers a 100%, full money-back guarantee. All of John Mallon Clinics carry a 100% guarantee of satisfaction —

“If, at the end of the day, you don’t feel your money was well spent, your money will be returned, in full, on the spot, just like that.”

John even takes it one step further by saying:

“If, after two weeks of honestly applying what you have learned, you feel that your money was not well spent, call me on my toll-free number for a full refund.”

This guarantee is unprecedented in the industry.



Level One is a prerequisite to attend this clinic


“Jackpot Clinic”

For the more advanced llama and handler who is ready to step up to Jackpot competitions.

Fine-tune your performance partner and learn how little things can mean a lot of money in Jackpots.

Lots of tips on gaining the showman’s edge by making your cues “invisible.”

“Bomb-proofing” — Overcoming the fear response - you can’t expose him to everything he’ll ever see in competition, but you can help him learn to take new things in stride.

Judging — learn exactly what the judge is looking for, how runs are scored and why. Get inside the judge’s head.

Training tips — 40 years worth. There are a lot of wrong ways of doing things, and usually more than one right way, too. John has personally trained and shown numerous performance champions since 1985, and graduates of his clinics have consistently placed at the top of their classes at the big shows.

These clinics differ from show clinics in that they are specifically geared to the performance classes. No time will be spent discussing halter, showmanship, or conformation analysis. There will be very little lecture time; this is a full day of hands-on performance work, including, but not limited to:

Water, tarp, tire crossings
Bridges and ramps, both forward and reverse
Jumps — including deadfall, cavaletti, barrels, solid walls
Backing — around, through or under, in serpentine or any other configuration
Sidepassing, turns on forehand, and haunch turns
Any other obstacles you want to try, have encountered, or dream up

If you’re serious about competing in the big money Jackpots, this clinic is for you!

Prerequisites: Previous Level I Clinic is mandatory (no exceptions), and previous Level II is recommended as a prerequisite to attending this Jackpot Clinic.


A limited number of animals may be hauled in for this clinic. Please make arrangements prior to coming. You will need to stall your animals in your trailer or in your own panels. There is no extra housing at our farm ;(

Out of state animals are required to have an 840 microchip and a health certificate within 30 days to comply with Michigan law. I have a chip reader on the premise.

In state llamas born after March of 2012 also must have an 840 microchip. Animals born prior to March of 2012 do not need a microchip. This again is to comply with Michigan law.

Guest Hotel is the Osceola Grand Hotel

Address: 940 W 7th St, Evart, MI 49631
Phone: (231) 734-0470

Mention that you are with the John Mallon clinic to get a rate of $104.04 per night (tax is included)
