What We Offer Our Members

CABA provides alpaca breeders an opportunity to share information and to work together to promote the alpaca industry. Through our interactive website, members are able to promote their farms with detailed profiles, photographs, and website links.

Current Areas of Focus

The work of the association happens through its committees and reflects members interests and priorities. Active committees have clear objectives and meet on a regular basis to work on projects related to them. In addition to putting on the annual CABA Classic, our members are committed to expanding the industry, taking a leadership role in pursuing fiber processing options, investigating enhanced husbandry and pasture management practices, and promoting alpacas's role in sustainable agriculture.
