Stall Information

All stalls are 9.5 x 9.5, therefore there is a limit of 3 alpacas per single stall. There is a limit of 5 purchased stalls per farm including the farm display stall. This does not include the stalls included with Sponsorships.
It is the exhibitor’s responsibility to keep the exhibition area clean at all times.
All stalls will be provided with bedding.
Stall space will be assigned with preference given to Classic sponsors as long as space is available when registered. After that, placement will be determined by postmark on a first come/first serve basis. We are limited on stall space, so get your entries in early!
Farm displays are encouraged. Each exhibitor may reserve only one display stall. Maximum stalls are five per exhibitor; this includes your display stall, but not your sponsorship stall. All farm displays must be totally contained within a stall space. We need to keep the isles clear for people to move throughout the building. No farm displays are allowed to spill into the isles.

All Alpacas must be BVDV (Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus) negative by PCR or VI test and so noted on the CVI. (There is no time restriction on when the BVD test was done). We remind people that the requirement of a negative BVDV test will not eliminate the possible presence of BVDV at the show, but will greatly reduce the risk of exposure. It is strongly recommended that all exhibitors institute on-farm bio-security protocols for returning from any show or other alpaca event to minimize the risk posed by BVDV and other contagion. Please call the Indiana State Board of Animal Health at 877-747-3038 877-747-3038 with any questions.

Per the 2010 AOBA Show System Handbook: All alpacas entered in or present at the show must be tested for BVDV using the PCR test. One test in the lifetime of the alpaca is sufficient to ensure that it is not a Persistently Infected (PI) alpaca. The BVDV “negative” or BVDV “not detected” test result must be written on the Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI) along with the date of the test, the lab that performed the test and the testing method (PCR).
NOTE: Just having the lab report isn’t sufficient to enter the facilities of the show.
Please bring an extra copy of the CVI, one of which the Show Superintendent will keep as a part of the permanent show records.
