What is AOBA?
AOBA (ah-oh-buh) stands for the Alpaca Owners and Breeders Association. It is the organization that provides information to members regarding alpaca events, has an excellent library, and promotes the alpaca breeding industry. It is a strong and active national breed association with a growing number of regional affiliates and AOBA-sanctioned national committees focused on addressing all aspects of the alpaca industry. AOBA was formed in 1988 to: 1. Promote public awareness and membership. 2. To educate its members on the care and breeding of the alpaca. 3. To promote the growth of the alpaca industry. 4. To foster the establishment of the breed outside of its origin and by encouraging husbandry and breeding procedures based upon, but not limited to, herd health, soundness, and wool production.
