"I thoroughly enjoyed your workshop.  I will be happy to recommend it [seminar] to any of my clients. I walked away with invaluable tips about diversification and channeling my sales more effectively. Tips for continuous improvement to upgrade my herd were also valuable. Fred's business plan was very concise... I am thrilled with his straightforward tips. Honestly, both of your presentations truly compliment one another -- just a great program."

"You are both pros, and it must feel great to be able to continue to contribute to this industry, as you have for so many years. Your workshop and a book of this kind are second to none. I intend to provide my new clients with your book upon purchasing their animals. "

"A Supercharging weekend.  Phenotype is out and homozygosity is in! Thank you for adding to my knowledge of alpacas so effectively. This morning I spent some time analyzing your web site and must admit to being impressed. In particular the book section which I wish I had discovered much earlier. It would have speeded my decision making immensely. Once again, a most enjoyable, intense and very informative seminar -- which I value highly -- in a setting with a delightful host. "

"Your seminar was of the very top rank.  You and Alan have done a superb job. Your presentation skills, the informal shirtsleeve atmosphere, timing, and variety of topics were simply great. "

"Mike has been a huge resource.  My wife Christine and I attended the very first NWA Seminar and were introduced to people, information and ideas that fundamentally changed our understanding of breeding alpacas. Mike has been a huge resource to us as newcomers to the industry, and we're most grateful for their friendly advice - and for accepting us as joint owners of one of their best herdsires! "
