suri llama fiber

There are three Keuring Designations:

  • Qualified
  • Permanent
  • Bloodstock
    (Suri Producers)

Suri Llamas enter Keuring divisions based on the age of the animal.

Males, females and non-breeders will be shown in Suri Divisions 1 through 6.

All Bloodstock will be entered in Division 7.

SLA Qualified Division

A young llama, 5 months to 36 months of age, will be inspected in the Qualified Division.

If this llama passes the Keuring process, it gains entry into the SLA Registry as a Qualified Suri Llama, and becomes eligible for all Keuring Awards.

An adult llama (more than 36 months) who does not meet the minimum 40” height (at withers) requirement for the Permanent Division, will be inspected in the Adult Qualified Division. Upon passing with at least the minimum score, it will remain in the SLA Registry as a Qualified Suri Llama and will be eligible to receive all awards except the Star Status Award.

Appropriate age divisions are determined by date of the keuring event.
