Commenter: Rick Horn - All American Alpacas

In support of the repeal of 2VAC5-140-140 and its replacement with 2 VAC 5-141
 

As a California alpaca breeder, I travel all over the country for shows and purchasing outside breedings. The TB, brucellosis and bluetongue testing requirements now keep me out of Virginia.

Most states have eliminated the testing requirements for alpacas, and I hope Virginia follows suit. As soon as they do, I have a girl ready to go to Gainesville for a breeding.
