AlpacaGram 12.65 | Membership Renewal is Open!

Membership Renewal is Now Open!

Another year is coming into focus, and with it, the steady rhythm of barn chores, familiar faces in the pasture, and the goals you continue to build toward. At AOA, we know your alpacas aren’t just part of your farm — they’re part of your life’s work.

That’s why your membership matters so much. It connects you to a community that understands the early mornings, the decisions that shape herd quality, and the deep satisfaction that comes from doing things the right way.

A quick reminder: Membership benefits end December 31 if your renewal isn’t complete. Renewing now ensures you don’t lose access to the tools, data, and support that guide your decisions throughout the year.

Every member helps protect the future of our national herd, expands education for all ages, and strengthens the standards that safeguard our industry. When you renew, you carry forward the knowledge, integrity, and care that define alpaca ownership.

Being a member of AOA has been an essential part of my journey as a breeder. I’ve learned so much about genetics, fiber quality, and herd development, and those tools have genuinely strengthened my breeding program. The education, resources, and detailed EPD data have helped me make thoughtful decisions and continue to grow. It’s encouraging to be part of an organization that truly supports learning, quality, and progress within the alpaca industry.
