ALPACA ONTARIO SPRING SHOW 2016
Averegan's Magnus
It was an awesome showing this weekend for all! A big thanks to all the volunteers for working hard and other farms for bringing great competition! We brought 20 animals on the trailer to this show with Hubbert Farms, Sunnyhill Alpacas and Alpagas Chelsea. With the lovely judges Arturo Pena and Robin Nasemann, the entire show was a great time with lots of public interest. Here at Averegan we took 3 animals, and started off the showing with Averegan's Magnus, taking a first in the toughest class of the day of the juvenile fawn males. He followed suit with a Reserve Champion Fawn Male warranting remarks from the judges about his incredible consistency, style and brightness. Next was Averegan's Helix with a fifth in the biggest class of the day of juvenile white males! He had a great showing with comments on his awesome fineness, staple length and handsome phenotype. And as a grand finale, our favourite Averegan's Merida did it again! Granting an easy first in her class and not having enough fawn females for Champion, we were nervous going into the Supreme Female round. However, after a few comparisons and some whispered chatter between the judges, Merida was chosen to win her third high title of Supreme. Comments of her incredible staple length, fantastic crimping and staple, not to mention her extremely pleasing frame (she looked like a male) and she had the judges favour. We are VERY pleased to own this female and she'll attend one more show in Quebec and she'll come home to start her mothering career.
Sunnyhill Alpacas also had an awesome show! Winning a third in the tough fawn male class with Sunnyhill's Conopa's Ecio, a second in the killer fawn female class with Sunnyhill's Conopa's Lexus and a first with Sunnyhill's Prince in the juvenile grey class. With positive comments all around, we are proud to be selling these three animals for Sunnyhill Alpacas in Alberta. They sent some of their best so check them out!
Congratulations to everyone !
