WHY APPLY TO USE THE MARK?
Suri breeders, growers and sellers of products who apply to use the mark are expected to adhere to a set of four cornerstones in their fiber programs:

• Suri Breed—Protect the viability and vigor of the Suri alpaca herd by breeding Suri alpaca males with Suri alpaca females, in line with the current published breed standard.
• Suri Animals— Manage breeding programs using available quantitative tools and responsible animal husbandry to produce lustrous, uniform fiber.
• Fiber Harvest—Harvest, sort, and grade Suri fiber using best practices described in the SURI FIBER HARVESTING CODE OF PRACTICE to maximize yield and commercial use ;
• Fiber Use—Promote the inherent qualities of Suri by pursuing the production of consistent high-quality products that best represent Suri fiber.

• You can sell your fleece to wholesale buyers, fiber artists, and others who are interested in using the mark in their products.
• You can use the mark as one more tool in your toolbox to market your Suri animals, fleece, and/or products as premium.
• You have the support of the Suri Network as it builds out the brand through advertising and marketing.
