Tucker Creek Crias Go to Shows

As many of you know Alpacas at Tucker Creek has chosen not to go to shows. Whether that is a good or a bad decision for your farm only you can decide--it is the path we have chosen for us. But don't let it be thought we don't see the value in the show process. And to that end is the subject of our latest blog.

We are happy to annouce the results of the first Alpacas at Tucker Creek offspring to go to show. Both Snowy River Alpacas, Colfax, CA and BrushWalker Alpacas of Geneseo, IL went to shows this weekend. The show results are from the Alpaca Western Extravaganza in Reno, NV and IAOBA Alpaca Riverfest in East Peoria, IL respectively. To say we are proud would be an understatement.

At AWE Snowy River Alpacas - Hailey & Ric Parker had the following results:

Tucker Creek's Ranger (out of Studmaster MSA Hemingway's Tequila) - Medium Fawn Class - 2 year old male - 2nd Place

They had a problem color checking this boy as his fiber was so dense they had difficulty getting the color chart down to his skin . . . what a great problem to have.

Tucker Creek's El Diablo (out of Studmaster Pacific Crest Accoyo Paul Revere) - Medium Fawn Class -
Yearling - 4th Place

Tucker Creek's Shadow (out of Studmaster MFI Peruvian Glacial Storm) - Dark Brown Class - Yearling - 2nd Place

This class was so tight for first and second places the judge spent considerable time comparing the two and after five minutes of side by side comparison decided the first place winner was slightly more dense than Shadow.

At IAOBA Alpaca Riverfest - BrushWalker Alpacas - George & Joanne Brush - had the following results:

Tucker Creek's Warlock (out of Studmaster MFI
Peruvian Glacial Storm) - Medium Brown Class - Yearling - 3rd Place

The judge said that the two above him had denser fleece but that Warlock's fineness was above the whole class.

We could not be happier with the results and effort put forth by these farms. Each of these males is a first generation Studmaster progeny--can you just imagine what will come out of breedings to these wonderful males.
