Membership in the Ideal Alpaca Community is valuable to all breeders interested in improving their herds and in marketing their animals. If you qualify, membership in the IAC is free. You are strongly urged to join. Membership benefits you by providing extremely valuable information about your herd and how individual alpacas compare to the national averages.
There are several requirements for becoming an IAC member. Your farm or ranch must meet at least one of the first three criteria, plus the fourth and fifth:
- Own a share in a Studmaster™ male or males.
- Own a relative, by pedigree, of a Studmaster™ male. Just as long as your animal has a Studmaster male listed somewhere in its pedigree, you qualify! It does not matter how many generations back. Also, if you have only one qualifying alpaca in your entire herd, all your animals qualify to be included in the IAC program.
- Own a female that has been bred to a Studmaster™ male.
- Be an AOBA member with a subscription to the Farm & Ranch Guide (any level).
- Have, or be in the process of constructing, a website for your farm with a link on its home page that links back to the IAC home page.
Please continue if you meet the requirements. If you don’t qualify now, please apply when you do meet the criteria.
