Performance Training your Llama/Alpaca with Mary Jo Miller
Fehrenbach Farms Evart, Mi
Cost for this 1 day clinic is $50 for adults, $40 for youth 18 and younger. 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.

Clinic is limited to 25 spots. Your place is reserved when your payment is received.

Clinic will be taught by Mary Jo Miller, owner, trainer, and judge of both llamas and alpacas. Mary Jo has experience not only raising camelids, but havs trained several National Champion animals, both llamas and alpacas.

Topics will include:
Where to start!
Desensitizing
Expectation of the obstacles -how are they judged
ramps, water, backing, and the fingers of death- Oh My!!
Questions welcomed!!

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

Phone: (231) 734-0470

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

ILR Sanctioned Show

Mt. Baker Darrington Fling 2020
Darrington Rodeo Grounds, Darrington WA
Join us for a fun double point performance show weekend. There is inexpensive onsite camping with limited hookups available, river access to take the llamas swimming and a bluegrass festival next door to enjoy.

Come on Friday for the evening showmanship and non-breeder halter classes and take your llamas swimming or see some of the beautiful scenery of this area. We typically incorporate the river into the obstacle courses so be ready to try swimming (or wading in some cases) with your llama.

Saturday is show day with a trail pack course in the shaded woods during the heat of the afternoon and then we finish with obstacles and public relations immediately after. The trail course is designed to be a challenging trail with things you would actually run into while packing.

Spend the morning swimming or relaxing visiting with old friends and enjoy watching the show in the afternoon and evening. The public relations course is designed by current and prior registered therapy llama handlers and is one of the more unique public relations courses around. You don’t have to be in a rush to leave, take Sunday to hike, swim or just relax with us!

The 2020 Fall Harvest Llama Show will again be held in conjunction with the National Cattle Congress. The NCC is a widely recognized fair which offers vendors, food trucks, carnival rides and attractions from across the midwest.

With the exception of overflow stalling, our show and stalls are completely under one roof. There is a generous amount of interaction with the public, creative performance course designs, jackpot fun classes with fun prizes and a futurity that pays out.

The Fall Harvest Llama Show offers a Best in Show Male, Best in Show Female, Best in Show Performance and a winner for a non-point "Spinner's Choice" class.

Entries will be available by August 1st. Each packet will come with tickets for two adults. Additional tickets will need to be purchased daily at the gate.

Rayne or Shyne Pasture Show
Aspen Rayne Ranch 28909 E 297th St Garden City, MO 64747
The Rayne or Shyne Llama Show will be a dual sanctioned halter and performance pasture show. Stalling will be out of your trailer. Grooming will be strongly discouraged. Your welcome to bring your tent and camp in the yard or, if you're more into glamping, hotels are just 9 miles away.

Plans are presently in the works to partner with the Oklahoma State Fair Llama Show on a "circuit" award for total points accumulated for llamas who exhibit in both shows.

2020 will be our inaugural show and we hope you will support our efforts to bring a llama show back to Missouri. We will strive to make this so much fun, you will look forward to it every year.
