Camelid regulations for entering Virginia
 

I am completely in favor of changing the regulations for camelids entering the state of Virginia. The tests that are required prove to be an economic hindrance to the Camelid industry and tourism aspects.  We need the support of the community from the surrounding states to assure the continued success of our shows and forums.  These shows allow us to view prospective additions to our herds and economically market our animals to out of state buyers.  The Virginia Classic had several farms decide not to attend based on the cost of health tests required for entry to Virginia.
