Ribbon winning weekend!!

Hello everyone !! This is officially my first ever 'blog" posting!! So here we go!!

Olde Life Alpacas took 6 pacas to the Gold Countrey Gathering / CA Classic Alpaca show held iun Orland CA this past weekend. Historically thse two shows were held seperatly but they are now combined, as are many of the alpaca shows acrtoss the country. So to maximize the weekend, I packed six pacas into our small trailer and off we went!! 

We arrived about 3pm Thursday, in plenty of time for vet checkin and by 5pm I was completly set up with the boys and girl fed and watered. 

Friday morning started early, 7:30Am getting the pens cleaned up, and the animals prepped for show....our two Suri girls were a WRECK, being unshorn and respectively 15 and 13 months of growth!

Once underway, the show was super smooth and we had a some great results and more inportanly feedback!
