Llamas Are Fun!

A Gelding Clinic lead by Dr. Anthony Stachowski (Ohio) and assisted by Dr. David Corley (Texas) and Stacy Mashburn (Licensed Veterinary Technician) will be held immediately following CLI's Murfreesboro Classic on December 1.

A maximum number of 30 males will be gelded on a first-come, first-served basis.  For each show entry, the exhibitor will be entitled to one free procedure up to a maximum of four.  If space allows, the option will be given to exhibitors to have additional males gelded for $25 each.  If slots are available after all show participants' llamas have been slotted, then an offer will be extended to non-participants at the rate of $45 per llama until the 30 llama maximum is reached.  All males to be altered must be stalled at the show, with a maximum of two llamas per stall at a cost of $75 per stall. 

This will be the first of an ongoing series of clinics that will accompany CLI shows across the country.  Under the direction of Dr. Anthony Stachowski, the Participating Veterinarian Program encourages all llama veterinarians - and especially veterinarians who own llamas - to donate time and services to the llama industry. 

It just makes sense that veterinarians who make a portion of their living through the llama industry would volunteer some of their time for the betterment of the industry.  CLI has created a venue for that to happen and calls on ALL veterinarians to be a part of CLI's ongoing Responsible Breeding Program.   

CLI encourages ALL llama owners and breeders to contact their veterinarians to make them aware of this opportunity and to strongly encourage them to become part of the CLI Participating Veterinary Program.  Don't take no for an answer! 

Veterinarians can start by going to www.TheCLI.org and sending an email to the CLI office offering their services.
