Results: 2010 MAPACA

2010 MAPACA Eastern Alpaca Jubilee (AOBA Level V Show) highlights... - Sheer Galaxy rocked!  There were a total of five of his progeny at the show. Here's their placements:   • 1st place and Reserve Brown Male Champion - A.L. Paca's Andromeda Galaxy.   • 1st place/14 - Juvenile Beige Male - Paso Ligero's Outlaw.   • 1st place/9 - Juvenile White Male -  PSAF Equinox Galaxy.   • 1st place/9 - Juvenile White Male - A.L. Paca's Whirlpool Galaxy.   • 2nd place/12 - Juvenile White Female - PSAF La Chula Galaxy. And, to top it off, Sheer Galaxy won GET OF SIRE with ten sires represented. - We donated the stud services of Sheer Galaxy and A.L. Paca's Revolution to the MAPACA organization and raised a total of $4,050.  Sheer Galaxy was the highest selling stud in the Junior Herd Sire Category (less than 5 years of age) with Revolution placing second and just $50 behind. - IF Santiago (our new up and coming black male out of A.L. Paca's Revolution), placed first in Bay Black Juvenile Males. It was a super challenging ribbon to win considering the Black Male Reserve Color Champion from the 2010 North American Alpaca show was in Santiago's class! Ken and Ruth Hopkins (the folks we bought half interest in Santiago from) were beaming even brighter than Santiago's fleece. - Our new girl "RR Rose Fiona" won Fawn Female Color Champion.  She's just back from winning the Reserve Color Championship at 2010 Futurity. Fiona's sire is Aussie Guns-n-Roses (The Big Guns) who was safely delivered to our farm on April 22 (what a great B-Day present)!  We can't keep him though as he's on loan from Renaissance Ridge Alpacas and will need to return home after August 2010. Check him and his daughter out at 2010 Northeast Expo. - We found a new fawn male to add to our program. This guy "Ringo Cloud", although just a juvenile, has been shown three times now with the following show results (most recent show listed first):   • First Place and Fawn Male Color Champion - 2010 MAPACA (Level V; huge group of about 69 males).  How difficult is it for a juvenile male of just 9 months of age to be awarded The Color Champion, especially at a Level V show?  Very, very difficult indeed!  We're thinking this guy has loads of potential.   • First Place/14 - 2010 North American Alpaca Show (Level V)   • First Place and Fawn Male Reserve Color Champion - 2010 Southern Select (Level III, 26 males). This was his first show as a juvenile. - "A.L. Paca's Sheer Insanity" (a fawn juvenile female out of Sheer Ellegance who is also the dam of Sheer Galaxy) won her class of 10 (this is her second blue ribbon win so far). - A brown female out of Simba (K-Ran Dream's Little Kaylee) won Brown Female Color Champion. Way to go Randy & Karen Strong! - In all, there were a total of twelve A.L. Paca's Farms owned and three co-owned alpacas at the show with the following full fleece halter class placements...   • 2 Color Championships and 1 Reserve Championship.   • 8 First Place wins.   • 4 Second Place (two of ours were duking it out in the same class).   • 1 Third Place (for the 2010 North American Grey Male Color Champion.)   • 1 Sixth Place (for a 4-time Champion).   • 1 Walk of Shame for The Color Champion from 2009 MAPACA (and 4 other championships no less).   • AND, last but real far from least - the first place Get of Sire win for Sheer Galaxy.  Go daddy, go!
