Mission

Our Mission

In July 2001 at ALPACAFEST in Red Deer, Alberta, a small group of alpaca breeders held "brain storming" sessions about organizing a world class alpaca event to promote our industry.

Discussions focused on:

  • a quality "Select Sale" advertised across Canada, as well as internationally,
  • with entries open to all Canadian breeders of registered alpacas,
  • (To ensure high standards, a committee will make a "blind" selection based on conformation and fibre.)
  • a non-profit, spectator friendly "Futurity", to showcase juvenile and yearling alpacas, and
  • an effort to attract new people to the industry

The name "Canadian National Alpaca Sale & Futurity" was selected and original participating farms agreed to commit their time and money ($500 per farm) to "get the ball rolling".

Founding Farms:

  • Amber Autumn Alpacas
  • Ghost River Alpacas
  • Neville Lake Alpacas
  • T 'N' C Farms
  • Aztec Alpacas
  • High Plains Alpacas
  • Rainbow Forest Acres
  • Battle River Alpacas
  • KJ Alpacas
  • Rio Grand Alpacas
  • Brewster Alpacas
  • Mountain Meadows Ranch
  • Tell Tale Farm

"CNASF" has become the major alpaca event in Canada.

As of April 2010, the numbers are impressive:

  • over $650,000 has been raised in our Stud Service Auctions
  • $595,000 has been paid out in futurity prize money and
  • $1,900,000 of breeding stock has been sold in the Select Sale.

Thanks to the amazing support of the alpaca breeders in Canada, the CNASF has been very profitable and we believe in giving back that profit to the Canadian Alpaca Industry.
