Here we are again after so long.  There have been lots of things happening in the meantime, of course.  Here’s the newest:  At the Portland, Oregon Columbia Alpaca Breeders Association show in April, our beautiful jr. herdsire “NAAC’s Hemiccoyo Bronz Reflection” (son of fawn full Accoyo UltraBronz) won a blue ribbon in the medium fawn jr. herdsire class.

The judge extolled how extraordinary he is in crimp, thickness, density, shine, you name it.  He said Bronz Jr. was far and away the best in that entire group that he had just judged.  He is from Canada and judges all over the globe, so this was not just an important event.

We are so proud!  Here is a recent picture.  The model is our dear friend Natalie Graham who has a lot of experience with alpacas.  She is from NGG Alpacas mentioned in a previous posting

.  The judge also noted that she handled Bronz Jr. very well when he decided to “act up” just before he was judged.  We think he is a very nice judge–obviously.
