Another BLUE for Takoda!
The 2011 show season has begun for Salt Creek Alpacas, Inc.!
Takoda rocked the White Yearling class of 10 by taking the blue (1st) at the TXOLAN Spectacular Fleece Show in Texas. Cedar and Kohana each took 2nd – awesome for a couple of rowdy boys who loved to roll in the mud, straw, hay – whatever they could find! Great job fellas!!
Off to Neenah, WI for the Spring Bling! What a fun show this always is. Great facility, great friends, and it is always wonderful to see the newest kids on the block brought out by the various breeders. It is equally delightful to see new farms springing up at shows! Very encouraging!
Since our crias were born in October and November, they weren’t quite old enough for this Spring season….so we had to rely on our “old folks” – Takoda, Kohana, and Goldie. We had Blackjack along with us (although we had just sold him to Nueva Dia Alpacas) for this show. So glad we did! Blackjack ended up taking first in his class and Reserve Championship – wonderful for a two and a half year old! Kohana and Takoda both took first in their classes as well. Goldie captured the Bred & Owned category and got herself a trophy to match the one that Kohana captured the year before! Sweet!!! This will be a nice addition to her display when we go to sell Goldie at the Prestige Auction in September!
The Spring Bling also yielded beautiful Fleece Show results – Cedar and Kohana each took blue ribbons in their classes! Not bad for fleeces that had been well picked through from previous showings!
