Fantastic BAS National Show 2014 for Toft

What a weekend. An amazing start to the Alpaca show season for Toft. We entered in total seven alpacas to the BAS National show 2014. Six were ours and one was a client's alpaca owned by Snapdragon alpacas and all of them came home with rosettes and three with broad ribbons.
Our six achieved three firsts, one second and a fifth and a sixth rosette and the lovely light fawn female from Snapdragon achieved a first in their first ever show. Wait it gets better.
Our entries then went in to achieve a Champion Ribbon and a Reserve Champion and the Snapdragon alpaca achieved a Reserve Champion in her own right. An amazing set of results for Toft Alpacas and the best thing is the alpacas were sired by three separate males- Toft Jaina, Barrbinda Finders Star and Lavender Park Tulley all of whom are resident at Toft.
Two of our alpacas were then entered into the Sires Progeny (dark) class alongside one of Ashcroft Alpacas  juniors and we brought away the winner shield for them for their stud male Lavender Park Tulley!
What a show. Our herds woman Linda was quite emotional especially when Toft. Timogen took the Brown Championship but nothing could beat the grin on Liz Davies face when she won Reserve Champion in her first show with her only entry and she only own two alpacas. She was exstatic and we were overjoyed for them both. Well done Team Toft!!
