Fifth Annual TAP Northern California Herdsire Showcase

10:00 am – 4:00 pm

Once again The Alpaca Pac is offering a unique opportunity. Every year 30 ranches or more bring over 50 of California and Nevada's finest Herdsires to The Dixon Fairgrounds for your viewing pleasure. Participating ranches are offering significant Breeding Discounts to those who attend the event, which is open to the public at no charge.

TAP will be offering a raffle to benefit The UC Davis Camelid Club. Several club members will be on hand so come on out and meet these future vets. And back, by popular demand there will be a "Herdsire Parade," watch these Macho Men strut their stuff!

Here is your opportunity to get some great exposure for your Herdsires to a multitude of Alpaca Breeders. Along with the opportunity to get your hands on some of the finest Herdsires on the West Coast. Compare these Studs side by side and get a great price for a date with your girls. If you don't currently own alpacas you are welcome to attend as well. Here is your opportunity to meet and talk to a variety of Alpaca Owners from all over California and Nevada in a relaxed and friendly environment.

For more information about either registering your Herdsires to be shown or simply attending the event contact either:
