About LA Deep South Alpaca Show
The driving force and motivation for the show is the event coordinator, Evelyn Richardson, who has created one of the most exciting and memorable new shows of the year. She has the help and support of her nieces Jennifer and Vanessa Paylor and alpaca breeders from Louisiana and other states. This is an incredible opportunity to take part in a new and soon to be nationally recognized show in the deep South, where alpaca breeding and showing is a new discovery and great adventure. We will bring together alpaca owners and breeders from across the nation, and we will introduce newcomers and the general public to the amazing alpaca and the fun and excitement of the alpaca show. We hope to see you there. Come and take part in the biggest alpaca event of the year!

About Alpacas
while the
more rare Suri has fiber that forms long silky, pencil-like locks that hang
down. Alpacas are a very rare and valuable livestock, making them an
excellent investment. They were first imported into the United States and
other countries about 20 years ago from Chile, Peru, and Bolivia.
Importation is now closed. American alpacas are registered and DNA tested
by the Alpaca Registry, Inc. Alpacas are sheared yearly in the spring for
their fleece and to keep the animals cool in the summer. They require less
pasture to graze than common livestock. Alpacas have one baby or "cria"
each year. Alpacas are known for making a soft humming sound.
