Columbia Alpaca Breeders Association

CABA provides a vehicle for the exchange of information between members and to the public. It also affords the smaller breeder the opportunity to pool resources with others to put together major events in the marketplace.

As an organized association, we also have access to grant money from national organizations for the purposes of marketing and education. CABA members meet monthly at alternating venues: business meetings or farm visits.

Business meetings are held on the third Friday of the month at the Senior Center on Boones Ferry Road in Tualatin. The dessert potluck starts at 7:00 PM and the business meeting at 7:30 PM. A CABA member typically gives a short presentation during the business meeting, followed by CABA agenda items and general farm news. A guest speaker typically gives a presentation during the business meeting, followed by CABA agenda items and general farm news.

Farm visits or open barns are hosted by CABA members on the third Saturday of the month, usually 12 – 4 PM. Occasionally, CABA will hold an event, such as this year’s Winter Social, in lieu of a farm visit.
