ILR, CLCR or ARI Registration: Exhibitors must be the registered owners and make entry in the exact names (owner and animal) as shown on the registration certificate or have a Permission To Show form from the registered owners. All animals entered in ALSA approved classes, with the exception of youth classes, must be registered or have passed screening with the International Lama Registry (ILR), the Canadian Livestock Record Corporation (CLCR) or the Alpaca Registry, Inc.. If nonbreeder animals are not registered and wish to be in the ALSA award system and wish to show in halter, they must show in the adult non-breeder halter class. If evidence of gelding is not visible, non breeder animals must be accompanied by a registration or veterinarian certificate verifying the animal is a gelding, vasectomized male, or a spayed or non-reproductive female. Copies of the registration certificates must be sent to the show with the entry form. All animals must be at least five (5) months old. This rule also applies to Get of Sire and Produce of Dam classes. The date for determining an animal's age is May 17 for the Grand Mesa Show and May 18 for the Kokopelli Show. All llamas should be entered in their appropriate wool divisions, as defined in Part I, Section 1 A of the ALSA Handbook. All alpacas should be entered in their appropriate wool divisions, as defined in Part K of the ALSA Handbook. An animal's wool division may not be changed after entry unless moved by the Grand Mesa halter judge on Saturday. Once moved by the Grand Mesa halter judge, the animal will remain in that wool division for the Kokopelli show on Sunday. Some wool divisions may be combined depending on the number of entries received. If show management determines it will be in the best interests of the exhibitors to combine divisions, an announcement will be made at the exhibitors meeting. Alpaca Halter Classes will be limited to the first 25 entries received. Since this is the first time we are offering these classes, we will not have separate color groups, but will have Shorn Huacaya and Suri divisions.

The garment does not have to have been personally made by the exhibitor, but the fiber content must be at least 50% from the animal entered. Fiber Showcase: This is a non-alsa class for hand-crafted items made of at least 60 % llama or alpaca fiber. Fiber can be from one or more animals, but must be produced in the USA.
