We feel that alpaca shows offer unique opportunities. They are a great place to interact with other breeders, attend educational seminars, and receive recognition for producing superior alpacas. Receiving a high placing is a very rewarding experience, but one that we keep in perspective. Show results are used only as a "piece of the puzzle" when evaluating any alpaca for sale, purchase, or breeding combination. Since our first show in 2008 we have been pleased with the results, and enjoy the challenge of improving on those SELECT qualities we find desirable in our animals.
