Alpacas for sale
The staff at Adagio mill commented of the wonderful softness of the yarn. You can see the natural lustre of the wool on the rollers.
We have some wonderful local knitters lined up ready to create their magic.
Glenhope Alpacas had a very successful show over the long weekend in June. Although we only entered 4 animals and 3 fleeces we came away with the Supreme Champion who was the Intermediate male champion, Adult champion male and 2 Reserve champions in the fleece classes.
Glenhope Griffin – Supreme & Intermediate male champion
Glenhope Franco – Adult champion male
Glenhope Exquisite – 18 – 30 months fleece – Reserve champion
Glenhope Cyrah – 48 – 60 months fleece – Reserve champion
Glenhope had a very successful Royal Eater show entering 14 fleeces and receiving 11 ribbions including 2 Championships for age and one overall championship for colour. The majority of the animals were sired by Suncloud Talahasi from Western Australia who has injected excellent character into the fleeces.
Subsequent classing of the animals by Dr Jim Watts has identified a number of younger males that could be classed as impact males for the future.
Glenhope had an excellent show in both the animal and fleece classes. We entered four males in the halter classes and received 3 firsts, a second, a reserve champion, 2 champions and the supreme champion with Glenhope Hugo.
In the fleece section we entered seven fleeces and received 5 firsts and a second with overall reserve champion of the show. Age groups didn’t receive championships only an overall supreme and reserve. Two of our fleeces were in this final line up of three fleeces.
Overall an excellent show.
