This past weekend we were able to attend Alpaca Affaire in Chehalis, WA. A small but very educational show!
We were privileged to have David Barboza and Diana Timmerman as judges. We volunteered to assist with fleece judging and learned so much about how fleeces should be skirted and how they are scored. There were many very nice alpacas at the show including some El Nino progeny (our competition)!
The weather was fair, the fleece judging completed on Saturday and the halter show went smoothly on Sunday.
So, how'd we do? We entered 5 males and the results are:
Vallejo - First place
Tenyoa - First place
Cortez - First placeRicaro - First place
Pere Ubu - Reserve color champion and a second place ribbon.
We're happy! Oh, we also met many very pleasant fellow breeders and had nice conversation!
cheers,
Newaukum Creek Alpacas
