At the BAS National 2018, we took a show team of 8 alpacas – 6 suris and 2 huacayas. We were Gold Sponsors of the BAS National 2018 as Suri Stud alongside West Wight Alpacas from the Isle of Wight. The BAS National is two days of showing with 560 alpacas (and their owners) and Chris was very pleased to be asked, again, to take photos on behalf of Alpaca World.

We are very pleased with the results which were as follows:

Spring Farm Roman 1st Intermediate White Male Suri

Spring Farm Saffron 1st Junior Female Brown Suri and Reserve Champion Brown Suri Female.

Spring Farm Sansa 5th (in Saffron’s class) Junior Female Brown Suri

Spring Farm Obelix 1st Adult Male Light Suri and Reserve Champion Male Light Suri

Spring Farm Symphony 3rd Junior Female Light

Spring Farm Sahara 5th (in the same class as Symphony) Junior Female Light

Spring Farm Lord Percy 3rd Adult Male Grey Huacaya

Herts Alpacas Phoenix 6th Intermediate Black Male (owned by us)

We were also over the moon with the winner of the Grey Huacaya Championship…Velvet Hall Storm Surge. We have recently bought his sire – Gunsmith.

Storm Surge was Gunsmith’s only cria at the BAS National – and the only Junior colour champion in the Supreme Championship line up!

We would just like to add our congratulations to the Show team for another excellent National. A lot of hard work is put in over many months by a whole team of volunteers.
