What Happened?
The NORTH AMERICAN ALPACA SHOW in Springfield, MA, was very
competitive in 2008. Livingston took a 2nd in PR Obstacle
under the tutelage of our high school volunteer, Brittany. Calcetines,
a Simon Sez offspring owned by Cold Spring Alpacas, was 2nd place in
the juvenile light rose gray halter class. Our black suri girl, Mimi,
placed 2nd in her halter class.
Livingston took a 4th place ribbon in the
AOBA FIBER TO FASHION FLEECE SHOW earlier this
year.
Livingston was 1st place in the
GREAT WESTERN ALPACA SHOW's Spin-off,
receiving a score of 96 out of 100 points!
Just for fun...
The rare Push-Me-Pull-You made an appearance at Saltaire Alpacas! This
shy creature was found wandering our pastures one day. We were able to catch it's
beauty on film before it slipped away!
