A great workshop for new alpaca owners or potential owners was presented by the Alpaca Association New Zealand on the 15th of May 2022 at Cornerstone Alpaca Stud. You didn't have to be a member of the association to come along - just be interested in knowing more about how to look after these beautiful, intelligent animals. The workshop covered practical aspects of owning and looking after your alpacas, and included introductions to:
 Haley and Brad with their two new baby boys, Venice and Cedar. Off to their new home after the workshop!
