2010 Show Season Wrap up!

Posted in featured, news. Written by admin on May 27th, 2010

“Consistent Quality” is the tagline for Columbia Mist Alpacas. While not everyone of our alpacas wins either a blue or red ribbon, we are proud of the fact that our alpacas are usually in the final pack getting a ribbon vs getting the gate at the largest alpaca shows in the U. S.

In both 2008 & 2009 all of our 10 cria show team won ribbons. In 2010 we decided to show only fleeces including large shows we had not previously attended.

We entered fleeces in at MAPACA in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania; CABA Classic in Portland, OR; International Alpaca Odyssey in Redmond, OR; and the AOBA National in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. We entered 26 entries and won 26 ribbons this season!

Some notable accomplishments include:

El Nino’s Elberto 1^st at both AOBA National and IAO including winning Reserve Light Color Champion at IAO ( Three out of four of Elberto’s offspring who entered shows this year won ribbons. Congrats to Kevin of Hope Ranch Alpacas, Scott & Angela of Majestic View Alpacas and Jeff & Tara of Green Mountain Alpacas!)

Duncan’s Deolinda 1^st at both CABA Classic and AOBA National

Rubio’s Geneveve 1^st at CABA Classic

Onyx’s Sofia 1^st at CABA Classic

In addition we were delighted to receive 2^nd Place behind Snowwmass Alpacas for “Most Uniform Breeding Program” at IAO!

We look forward to our new 2010 crop of crias as we are now at 141 ribbons, 10 Color Champions, 3 “Best Hands of Show”, 2^nd and Most Uniform Breeding Program at 15 Major Shows!

“Consistent Quality” continues to qualify as our tagline!
