The Camelid Identification Working Group (CWG) is made up of stakeholders
representing the major sectors within the US camelid industry and is
charged by USDA with developing a viable plan for permanent identification
of alpacas, llamas, guanacos, vicunas and camels.


The purpose of this Working Group web site is to:

  • increase camelid owners awareness of the National Animal Identification System
  • keep owners updated on CWG activities
  • provide owners an opportunity to give the CWG input into the development
    of a camelid ID plan and
  • help owners make the transition to meet the anticipated coming laws.

Please send your comments and questions on camelid identification to the
CWG co-chairs, Teri Nilson Baird and/or Julie Ann Jarvinen, using the
following links:

     Teri Baird teri@brokenwindmill.com
