The Small Breeder Challenge is an AOBA sanctioned show, specifically for farms with 20 or fewer ARI registered females. (Male alpacas do not count toward breeder size.)
The show allows smaller farms to compete strictly against farms with similar resources. The show concept may best be analogized to high school or college sports, where schools with smaller numbers of students play in a different division than much larger ones. It does not mean that the education is of less quality, the games less entertaining, or the competition less fierce. It simply gives schools the opportunity to compete against other schools with comparatively similar resources.
We are very excited about this new show, and hope many breeders falling into the eligible size category will make plans to compete. Helen Humphreys will be the judge for the The Small Breeders Challenge.

2012 Rule Changes
- AOBA has granted an exception allowing us to give “Small Breeders Challenge Color Group” awards, so long as there are 5 huacayas or 4 suris within a color group and that those entries come from two or more classes.
- When a color group meets regular AOBA size requirements (10 huacayas / 8 suris), we may award two trophies, Small Breeders Challenge Color Group Winner & Small Breeders Challenge Color Group Runner-up.
- When a color group has 5-9 huacayas / 4-7 suri from at least two different classes, a single (Small Breeders Challenge Color Group Winner) trophy will be given.
- If total group is 4 or more suris, or 5 or more huacayas, that group is to be run as a single color group, and not combined with another color group.
- If the total color group is less than 4 suris, or less than 5 huacayas, they shall be combined per AOBA rules.
This year's Futurity will be held April 20-23 at Fonner Park Complex, in Grand Island, NE. The Futurity is always spectacular, and the move to Nebraska puts us right in the middle of the country. This year's venue is the newly constructed state-of-the-art livestock facility and convention center, Pavilion at Fonner Park, in Grand Island, NE.
