Letter from the editor This year, 2014, has been a great year for the Showring Magazine and I would like to thank the ALSA Board of Directors for allowing me to publish it! There are some subscriptions to our Showring magazine from as far away as India, Japan, Canada, Germany, Peru, Italy, Australia, Spain, Taiwan, Indonesia, and more. Through our Magazine, the world is able to see Llamas & Alpacas in real life doing what they can do! We all are to thank for that! I wonder how hard it would be to ship a llama/ alpaca over to their country. I also wanted to mention that I was impressed with the 2014 ALSA Grand National. It was wonderful seeing so many llama and alpaca folks having a good time, and being able to see some people that I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen in quite a long time. The halter animals were beautiful and the competition in performance was stiff. (A special thank you to Betty Hollman for putting together such challenging and wonderful performance courses) The levels of talent in the youth classes were unbelievable. Fiber & fleece classes where huge and very competitive. All in all the show was great and the Grand National committee did an outstanding job! I have featured the 2014 Grand National in this edition and I hope you enjoy the pictures and articles. I would also like to say a special thank you to Sally Rucker and Marilyn Nenni for their wonderful picture taking at the 2014 GN. They both sent me their pictures to use. These pictures helped me put this issue together for you. You know, during the year I welcome any pictures or articles from ALSA members. If you have sent me pictures or articles throughout this year, thank you. If you have not and wondered why your show or animal is not in a Showring Magazine, well, that is because I need your help! Please send me pictures and articles. If you send me pictures or articles that are pertaining to an ALSA sanctioned show, or an activity you have been involved using your llama or alpaca, this will usually be published without a charge. The Showring Magazine does charge for individual ads about your animals and/or their winnings! The Showring Magazine is also available for businesses or ranches to purchase an ad. Please see the ALSA website, or follow this link for more information; http://www.alsashow.net/magazine.html If you need help creating an ad for the Showring Magazine, I will help you create an ad for free. I will also help any superintendent of an ALSA sanctioned show put together an advertisement for their show to be publicized in the Showring Magazine free of charge. Blessings, Ruby showring@figmentranch.com

Letter From The President: This time of year, we are all looking forward to the special Holiday Season and ALSA is no exception. We have much to be thankful for. ALSA’s show season was quite active with new shows being added this year. The 2014 Regionals and the 2014 Grand Nationals were successful in giving wonderful opportunities for each member to show off their llamas and alpacas for Regional and National titles. We couldn’t have had all of these shows without our amazing Superintendents, show volunteers and judges. We thank you for all of your hard work and being an integral part of keeping ALSA successful. The ALSA Board of Directors could not function without its’ committees and their Chairpersons. We’ve got new volunteers as well as our longer termed committee members that have helped keep the organization of ALSA running. Our committees and Chairpersons work non-stop to keep each committee functioning and the BOD wouldn’t be here without you all. Thank you so much for your time, dedication, and non-ending work you do to help ALSA. Our Executive Secretary, Robin is the voice and the first impression any person gets of ALSA. She works very long hours and does her best to always make sure ALSA has a smiling face answering the phone and handling business. Thank you Robin for everything you do. To our ALSA members, we are only ALSA because of you. The membership is the driving force of ALSA. You attend shows, clinics, work in front or behind the scenes, but each role is important. Thank you for being members of ALSA. We appreciate your support and ALSA is nothing without you. ALSA’s Judges are an important part of ALSA. They attend clinics, apprenticeship, more clinics and now even conference calls, all to bring the best educated judges to ALSA’s shows. Their honesty and integrity in judging our animals is what makes ALSA the forefront of the llama showing community. We thank you for your time and effort just to become a certified judge with ALSA and your hard work and dedication to being the best of the best. I couldn’t be here writing this without my fellow Board of Directors. Jim, Charles, Susan, Debbie, Terese, Paul and Patti are some of the hardest working people I know. The membership, committees and Chairpersons all come to these directors and they have a voice through these Board members. We may not always agree, but we are not only a team, we become like a family. It may seem a bit dysfunctional at times, but like with family, we make it work well. I thank each and every one of you for making our 2014 a success and moving ALSA forward. I also thank you for taking the time out of your busy lives to promote, support and serve ALSA. I’m wishing you a wonderful holiday season and a Blessed 2015. From my family to yours,

Letter From Vice President Writing about myself is not something I care to do. But writing about my kids, Oh Yeah, that I will do…..I am a mother of 4, step mother of 3, and grandmother of 3. I manage a 4H club here in Texas with 13 members and a 4H llama project group with 23 members. After my youngest daughter graduated from High School, my husband commented on what I was going to do with all my free time. I asked, what free time? He had assumed I would be retiring, so to speak, from my duties as Youth Leader. Not a chance. I know the opportunities that were opened for my children through the 4H llama project. I remember a quote from one of my oldest daughter’s essays….. she wrote “I am just as comfortable in my jeans and boots attending a tractor pull as I am in my formal dress and heels attending the Broadway Play, The Phantom of the Opera”….. These well rounded youth that have the opportunity to experience so many different aspects of life, are the ones that are going to make a difference for us. The youth truly are the future. It is my hope, as a board member, to help open up opportunities for our youth. It is important for us to give the youth opportunities to grow and learn. I ask you to mentor a youth in your town, donate to the ALSA youth scholarship fund, take your llamas out to schools and preschools, and help spread the joy and love of llamas. I want to see our llama community grow and stay strong for many more generations to come. I want to see my grandchildren showing llamas in the next 10 years. It saddens me to see shows where there are only 1 or 2 youth in a class. I moved to an area where there was not a 4H program for llamas. I worked with our Extension office to get one started. We are in our 5th year now and have 23 wonderful children that work hard with their llamas. They learn about health and safety, go on hikes in the woods, and attend shows. There are many other wonderful 4H and Youth leaders out there across the country that provide llamas and their experience to the youth. I cannot name you all, but You know who you are. I personally want to thank you all for all your hard work and dedication to the youth, the llama community, and to ALSA for everything you do for and with our youth. Without leaders like you, there would be no youth, and no future for ALSA. In closing, I would like to say, share your llama with a child, and the llama will be loved by you both.

Robin

Yours truly, Robin Turell ALSA Executive Secretary 7

It was all llamas all the time Saturday at the Kansas Pavilions.

Well, some alpacas, too.

The Alpaca Llama Show Association’s 17th Annual Grand National Show of Champions brought people from across the country to Wichita to show off their perfectly coiffed South American camelids. Llamas maneuvered through obstacle courses, carried packs and pulled carts.

Twelve llamas from Jim and Marilyn Nenni’s Shagbark Ridge Llamas in Noblesville, Ind., made the trek for the nationals.

A group of teenaged girls helped show llamas from the Nennis’ farm. Dressed in jeans with rhinestone belts, the girls looked like they could have been about to put on a country music concert.

“In Hamilton County, we all have sparkly belts,” said Lexi Foerder, 14. The girls were competing in five classes. Three were performance classes, one was showmanship and one was youth judging. During youth judging, the goal was to come as close to the actual judges’ decisions as possible. The Stephanie & Becca Foerder performance classes involved obstacle and pack courses and public relations and aim to judge the handler and llama as a team. Lexi Foerder

8 Showring Magazine Winter 2014

Showmanship is simply “you presenting your llama,” Lexi said. The girls qualified for the national show by doing well at earlier competitions. Katie Tuttle, 13, won in showmanship Saturday. This was her first year showing Saxony, a tan-colored llama. Showmanship is stressful, because “you always have to be looking at the judge and make sure you look nice and make sure your llama looks nice, too,” Katie said. But it paid off. She won a ribbon and $50. Kattie Tuttle

Working with llamas is fun, the girls said, because the animals are sweet.

“The interaction with the animals” is what got Olivia Mitchel, 13, into handling llamas.

Olivia DeWitt

“They’re so different from other animals,” Olivia DeWitt, 14, said. But handling llamas is a big commitment, said Becca Foerder, 14. The girls do chores at the farm and help take care of the llamas. Becca said friends ask her and her sister why they’re always busy. The answer’s easy: llamas. Olivia Mitchel Jeff Rutledge and his daughter, Zoe, traveled to Wichita from south of San Antonio with nine llamas. He said it’s true the animals are loving. “He’ll follow my daughter around like a puppy,” Rutledge said of a llama named Acer. “They’re just gentle giants.” Zoe Rutledge

Prominent businessman, philanthropist Richard Snyder dies at 74

Snyder fell in his home, injured his head and was flown to Morristown (N.J.) Hospital, where he died. Born in Carlisle, and raised on a nearby dairy farm, Snyder graduated Big Spring High School in 1957 after attending a one-room schoolhouse from kindergarten through eighth grade. He graduated from Pennsylvania State University in 1961. A certified public accountant, Snyder served in various executive management positions until 1991 when he retired from Philip Morris International where he was executive vice president, Europe-Middle East-Africa. After his retirement, he maintained his Sutton Place apartment in New York, but lived primarily in Milford, where in 1985 he purchased Foster Hill Farm. Snyder wanted to keep the property as a working farm but wasn’t interested in the usual farm livestock, noting that he had his fill of milking cows when he was a child. Instead, he became a well-known llama breeder, active in the Pennsylvania Llama and Alpaca Association, serving as its president, and a nationally prominent leader in the llama breeding industry. Many of his herd, which at one time numbered more than 100, are prizewinners; an entire wall of the llama barn at his farm is covered with scores of ribbons and awards from llama competitions. Each July, Snyder sponsored an Open Barn Day for visitors to walk among the llamas and the horticulture on the 70-acre organic farm

Fiber - Fiber - Fiber

We have been raising llamas for fine fleece, excellent conformation and gentle temperaments for 25 years. Specializes in teaching fiber arts classes in Spinning, Weaving, Knitting, Felting and Dyeing to llama and alpaca owners so they can get that fleece out of the barn and into finished garments!!

The ALSA Grand National offered in a raffle this beautiful statue “Packer”. These unique & beautiful llama sculpture was mounted on Shan Mu Roots from China. The sculpture was done by Louise Judge of Sculptures by Louise of Norman, OK. Okllama@aol.com 405-329-7260

Glenna Overmiller Oklahoma

Thought for the day… Once there was a herd of cows and a herd of llamas living in adjoining fields. They were separated by only a thin strand of wire. Every day the cows would coax a young llama over next to the fence and then grab him and pull him into their field where they used him like a soccer ball and kicked him all over the place until they got tired of him and let him go home. The moral of this short tale is: Are you ready?..........

“llamas, don’t let your babies grow up to be cow toys.”

Thanks to all the donations, the silent auction and the raffles were a great succes. 31
