Baarrooka Alpacas, Stud Male, Suri, Alpacas, Alpaca Farm, Baby Alpaca, Alpaca Stud, Strathbogie, Australia

Baarrooka attended the Wangaratta Show – this was the first year it had an alpaca competition and as it is one of the closest shows to us, we thought we should support it. It was very well run and had a great response by exhibitors – especially suri breeders.

We were also very pleased with our results. Baarrooka Sade, a gorgeous fawn female was awarded the Junior Female Champion, three older boys took firsts in the Adult class: White – Skyhooks; Fawn – Wham! and Brown – The Style Council. Skyhooks went on to be awarded Adult Champion and Supreme Champion. Fleece results were also very good with all firsts and seconds.

Baarrooka participated in an Alpaca Open Day trail, which involved four Alpaca Studs in the Strathbogie area. The Trail was held in conjunction with a regional promotion weekend on 4 and 5 October and was advertised regionally through newspapers, radio and television.

The weather for the weekend was perfect and a good number of people visited to find out more about alpacas and their fibre, have a pat, feel some fleece, taste some wine and buy some yarn. We were very pleased with the response and hope to hold additional Open Days in the future.
