We’re back from our first alpaca show of the season. Our alpacas did well. Falcon, our brown male, took 5th in a class of 13. That’s about what I expected of him. Esther Rose took a 2nd in her class; she has done well in past shows, also. Aristides ended up with a 3rd in his large class. That in itself is quite a feat for a young white male at this very competitive show. But the judge made it clear that the top three alpacas in that class each deserved the blue ribbon. Aristides is just a spectacular alpaca. We hope to get him to at least one more spring show, then will show him as much as possible in the fall.
