Training Resources

Hi Beth and Mike,

There are a number of excellent books - both new and older ones -- on care, training and packing. If you take a look at the publication offerings of the various vendors such as Quality Llama Products, Inc. or Useful Lama Items you will discover a vast number of alpaca and llama books, videos and CD-ROMS. Typing the name of a vendor or even "llama" or "alpaca books" into a search engine will bring up a number of sites. I believe there is truly something to be learned within all of them. Buying them all, however, can be fairly spendy! I would suggest contacting your local alpaca or llama association and becoming a member. Amidst the many benefits in belonging to and supporting your local association, most offer a library service to their members. These are great resource libraries containing many of the books, videos and CD-ROM's relating to your particular interests. Most association libraries also include other publications on pasture management, behavior, poisonous plants, herbal remedies and more. Library materials are normally loaned out to members for just the cost of postage. Local association membership dues tend to run somewhere around $25 to $35 per year. Access to so many publications will also help you decide which books, videos or CD-ROM's are important to you to purchase and include in your own personal camelid library.

My best to you and your llamas,

Cathy
