Virginia seems to be one of the very few states that still require blue tongue, TB and brucellosis testing for an alpaca to enter the state.  These tests can be very expensive and many breeders will think long and hard before attending an alpaca event in Virginia for this reason.  I, in fact, know of several farms that have refused to participate in any Virginia alpaca shows.........which overall, keeps money out of the state of Virginia.  I believe it is time to move forward.
