08th November. They may not be removed before 4.30 pm or when judging is completed as deemed by the Fleece Steward.
Preparation of Exhibits and Cleanliness of Stalls - Exhibitors must keep the stalls allotted to their animals clean and give
proper attention to their stock throughout the show. Exhibitors must provide their own feed, and containers for food and water.
Advertising - Promotional material is permitted within the bounds of the standard pen width of 1.5 metres and no higher than 1.2 metres
measured from the floor, this includes tables. For sale signs are not permitted. Handlers shall be deemed incorrectly attired if their dress or
the animal led displays any information construed as stud advertising. Display/promotional alpacas are not permitted in the penning shed or
the show arena and precinct. Ribbons won at any other previous show are not permitted.
Exhibitors Meeting – The Chief Steward will hold a meeting of exhibitors at approx 8.30 am in the judging ring to be briefed on show
procedures. Judging will commence immediately at the conclusion of the meeting.
Inspection of Exhibits - All alpacas must be registered with the Australian Alpaca Association Ltd. and carry an approved brass tag
showing the alpaca's IAR number. No wether may have any visible genetic faults or visible physical disfigurement. Wethers must be IAR
registered alpacas and owned by an AAA member.
No animal shall be eligible for exhibition if it is not entire (except for wethers). All genitalia shall be complete, properly formed and
proportioned for normal reproduction.
The Convenor, with the consultation of the show Committee of a Show conducted under Association Rules, shall appoint a person, or persons
as a qualified inspector, or inspectors who shall inspect all alpacas for genetic faults, colour class and IAR number and visible physical
disfigurement.
The Inspector or Chief Steward will classify all entries for age, sex and colour and has the power to transfer an exhibit to the class which, in
his/her opinion, it should have been entered. The Chief Steward will combine or split classes as he/she sees fit.
All alpacas will be inspected from 7.30 a.m. on Saturday 07th Nov.
All exhibitors must place their animals in the pens allotted by the Show Stewards and must not be moved or removed except by order of the
Chief Steward. Alpacas not in their allocated pens and available for inspection at the official time may be disqualified by the Chief Steward.
Exhibitors must be in attendance at the time of inspection and will be required to assist. All Huacaya alpacas must carry a minimum fleece
length of 50 mm and a maximum length not exceeding 130 mm, measured at the mid side. The minimum fleece length for Suris is 75mm
and maximum fleece length will be assessed by the judge. Exhibits shall not have fleece of a different colour to that of the blanket removed
from an animal to a level below that of the blanket fleece. Any alpaca found to have lice infestation must be removed from the showgrounds
immediately along with any other alpacas present that belong to the same exhibitor.
NOTE: If there is no IAR tag present in the ear of an animal exhibit, official AAA confirmation must be provided by the owner to the Chief
Steward that the ear tag has been lost recently and that a new tag has been ordered and paid for. Replacement tag orders and payments
must be lodged with the National Office a minimum of one week before the date of the show. Failure to present such advice at inspection
will result in disqualification of the animal.
Judging - Judging will commence promptly after the exhibitors meeting at 08.30 am on Saturday 07th November, Suri alpacas will be judged
first. Huacaya Fancies and Wethers will be judged after the Suri classes are completed and before the Junior Huacaya Females. The Judge’s
decision shall be final. He/she may choose not to award a prize or prizes in a class. A handler/exhibitor may not discuss with the Judge their
alpacas or proposed exhibits prior to, or during the Show judging.
Handler’s Attire - All handlers leading stock in the judging ring or parade shall wear a white coat over long black trousers or long skirts,
with clean dress shoes or boots. The Chief Steward may disqualify an exhibitor for incorrect attire of the handler. All handlers showing
animals must be competent in the handling of their exhibit, or removal from the ring may be requested by the Judge. It is recommended that
small children not exhibit large animals that they cannot control. All exhibitors shall, on the day of the Show, obtain their pen position and
animal exhibit card numbers from the Shed Steward. The animal exhibit number card of the exhibit must be worn and clearly displayed by the
handler whilst in the show ring. The age of the alpaca and the age of fleece, in months, will be displayed on the card.

exhibitor. All exhibitors must be AAA Ltd. financial members. Only one fleece that has been shorn in the 18 months prior to the Show may be
shown from any one animal. It is recommended that fleeces be placed in bags, made of satin or similar material, or heavy duty plastic. Plastic
garbage bags should be avoided.
Exhibitors, when submitting fleeces at the Show, must attach to the fleece the number supplied for that class (no). Fleeces are to be lodged
