Alberta Fall Market Sale?

Anyone planning on putting together a fall Market Sale in Alberta? I know the auctions are coming up but I so hate taking my birds to auctions...

Hmm, anyone have a parking lot central in Alberta? Often I have thought that would be all it would take. That and a little advertising.

Fall sale in Glen Park? Sound good. I'd be in as a seller I did the first one and really enjoyed it.

One thing to keep in mind about having a sale at the end of September is POPWA is having their poultry sale on October 2. Some sellers who were at the Glen Park sale likely will be going to the POPWA one. The two might clash being too close together

But I do support a fall sale in general. Think it's a great idea.

no fall one for me HAHAHAH next year again i will do it..to close now and i am to busy and BROKE dealing with my newly aquired SICK cat..... next summer again i will do the sale ...if i have any money left from this ordeal........

I have the "parking lot" if someone wants to arrange it.... our place is right off Hwy22, easy to find, TONNES of room!!! and I'm not too shabby in the kitchen if snacks are wanted

I will attend if Lanaire Ranching will host it. If we run short of food we can always have a huge BBQ with alpaca.

absolutely!! actually thanksgiving weekend is butcher weekend here, so there will be lots of meat hanging!

Wow - I thought Alpacas were just used for their wool!

no sorry, they are also good for meat.... although in some alpaca circles that doesn't make me very popular it is very much like venison, very lean and no gamey taste. very excellant for ground or sausage

honestly I don't see what the issue is. down south where they are from that is how they are raised-- like a livestock but up here it is such a no-no. no different that eating lamb or sheep in my eyes....

I agree, no different from people eating sheep, or rabbits or for those of us who raise chickens but eat them also? I just try not to make pets out of those we do use - made that mistake with the last steer and now have no cattle on my property. That being said, I do wear leather - be it sheep, pig or cattle.

Cheers,
