Show Judge ~
Sharon Loner
Sharon Loner
and her husband, Frank, purchased their first alpacas in 1993 and are the
owners of Mile High Alpacas located in Parker, CO. Sharon soon learned that
raising these beautiful animals was her calling and within three years she
left her professional career to become an alpaca rancher full time.
Sharon is both AOBA and Internationally Certified to judge fleece and halter
alpaca shows. In 2004 she completed her international training through the
International Alpaca Judging School (IAJS) located in Peru by Maggie Krieger
and Dr. Julio Sumar and that same year became AOBA certified. She remains an
active farm member in the Alpaca Breeders of the Rockies (ABR) and has served
as a director for the Alpaca Fiber Cooperative of North America (AFCNA).
Sharon graduated from North Dakota State University with a Bachelors Degree in
Secondary Education and Textiles. Sharon and Frank have two daughters
currently attending the University of Colorado located in Boulder, CO. She and
Frank are enjoying the second phase in their lives as empty nesters.
Sharon’s goal while in the show ring is to see that every exhibitor and their
alpaca are comfortable, relaxed, and at the same time having an enjoyable
experience. She makes sure each and every alpaca is evaluated fairly and
honestly on a comparative basis.
Registration & Forms
Sign up early, stalls will be assigned accordingly, first come, first served.
If you want to be located next to another farm, during online registration
BOTH farms must clearly state the name of the farm next to which they wish to
be adjacent. THIS REQUEST CANNOT BE MADE ON DAY OF CHECK IN.
Stalls are 10’ x 10’, and a maximum of three adult alpacas per stall will be
allowed. The floor is a packed dirt floor. Since straw is not
permitted due to facility fire codes, we suggest a plastic mesh mat. No
farm displays will be allowed in the aisles due to fire codes. Display
stalls are limited to one per farm, and are available for the same price as an
animal stall.
All alpacas must be registered and entered in the name of the current owner on
the ARI Registration certificate. A "Buyer’s
Permission to Show" form showing the owner as listed on the ARI Registration certificate
must be attached if an alpaca has been purchased and the transfer has not been
completed.

BVD TESTING - AN
IMPORTANT REMINDER
The AOBA Show System Office would like to remind and clarify to Show System
members the following requirements concerning
BVDV testing in all alpacas that enter any AOBA Certified Show.
There are
only two acceptable methods for BVDV testing: PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction)
and VI (Virus Isolation). Alpacas that have been tested by another method will
not be allowed entry into any AOBA Certified Show. IMPORTANT…
All BVDV tests accomplished after 1/1/2010 MUST be PCR. BVDV tests
accomplished prior to 1/1/2010 may be PCR or VI.
This is a one -
time test. For the purposes of any AOBA Certified Show, once this test has
been done, it need not be repeated.
The
veterinarian who
completes the CVI (Certificate of Veterinary Inspection) must list the
following information
directly on the CVI:
• The negative
BVDV result
and date of lab test
• The METHOD of TESTING (PCR or VI)
A CVI that lacks any of the above information is incomplete, and the alpacas
that are listed on the CVI will not be allowed entry
into the Show. Requiring that each alpaca entering the venue of any
AOBA Certified Show is
BVDV negative,
by the proper test method, ensures the protection of ALL alpacas at the
show.
All alpacas must have a Certificate of
Veterinary Inspection (CVI) written within 30 days of the last day of the show
along with an entry permit.
Your veterinarian should call 501-907-2400 for entry permit.
Brucellosis and TB Tests are
NOT
required. Bring two copies of the CVI with you. The CVI for each alpaca
entering the arena must include the:
1.
Alpaca's full
ARI name
2.
Microchip number
3.
Record of a negative BVDV test by PCR or VI and date of test.
All BVDV tests accomplished after 1/1/2010 MUST be PCR. BVDV tests
accomplished prior to 1/1/2010 may be PCR or VI.
Direct
any questions to Cookie Bowers, at 918-327-3519 or
Cookie@acresoflove.com.

Herdsire Breeding Auction
Our Herdsire Breeding Auction will feature some of the most elite males in our
region.
We encourage farms to donate breedings for
the auction. As a Thank You to all farms donating breedings, 60% will be
returned to the breeder while only 40% will go to the show. Starting bids will
be $1000.00 (minimum bid increments of $100), a great starting price as you
will see by the pictures and descriptions of these quality males (on this page
as they are received). The 60% will enable the herdsire owner to insure the
female will be well taken care of and insure she is confirmed pregnant without
undue cost to the owner.
Arrangements for delivery and contracts
should be made between the owner and the successful bidder immediately after
the auction closes.
A picture and a short description will appear
here on this website as they are received.
