2nd - 2013 ABR Fall Festival, Light Fawn Yearling - Julio Sumar
Julio really liked this boy! With 13 in this class and the fact that he was placed in light fawn, this placing was very impressive. First place was a son of Accoyo America Polaris, known for fantastic fineness. Scott Miller of Crescent Moon said while looking at Super that he was the "most beautiful alpaca at the show." We can't wait to see Super really flourish as he matures!
2nd - 2013 GWAS (level 5), Medium Fawn Juvenile - Wade Gease
"1st and 2nd are close in comparison" "Explosive style...popping fleece" He praised Super's density, consistency of crimp structure. The judge said that when he saw Super walk in the ring he knew he was going to "compare the rest of the class to this one!".

3rd - 2014 ABR Fall Festival, Kristin Buhrman. -- As a small show, the beige and light fawn colors were combined to the detriment of the light fawns and their often two colored fawn fibers (usually light fawns have lighter or darker primary fibers). The fawns all placed below the two beige animals, and Super was the 'fist placed light fawn'.
3rd - 2013 TxOLAN, Medium Fawn Juvenile - Tim Lavan
The judge said that the top three stood apart, with Super being the youngest in the class at 7 months old, and given time Super should do "very well".
4th - 2013 MOPACA, Medium Fawn Juvenile - Wade Gease
The judge felt the fleece had a long staple but was more open and less dense.... I cannot say if this is due to the competition above being from the Snowmass, MFI, and Irish Meadows lineages but I can say that the more than 100% humidity increase from our dry area to this wet area definitely flopped our alpacas' fiber that show. No one that has felt Super has accused him of being less dense. Hopefully we will do better in our 'dry state' local shows but we also anticipate even better reception in his yearling fleece.
