Alpaca Jack’s Auction

September 20, 2009

The big event in September was attending The Private Auction sale at Alpaca Jack’s in Findley, Ohio.  As usual, the pre-auction seminars were educational, and the food, drink, and ambience created by our hosts Jack and Marion Donaldson made for very pleasurable day.

Although we had no intention of buying any more animals after our spree at last year’s auction the animals offered such superior genetics and the prices were so good that we couldn’t resist improving our herd even more.  Thus Jack’s Kingpin, Tony’s Celebration, as well as Ascot, Amelia, and Beatrice were added to The Alpacas of Spring Acres’ herd. Many of you undoubtedly know of Kingpin’s and Celebration’s many championships.

We now have two champion herd-sires: Kingpin and Princeton. We also have several other potential champion herd-sires but they are still too young to be offered: Aerosmith and Dundee.  We plan to use all of them extensively in our breeding program.  They will also be made available to other breeders, provided the dams are judged to be good “receivers” of our superior herd-sires’ genes!

Following the TPC, we entered Chase, ¬¬¬¬Celebration, Jacinda______ in the 1st All Suri National Alpaca Sweepstakes show, which was also held in Findlay, Ohio.  Chase  and Celebration  both won a Blue Ribbon, while  Jacinda took a 2nd Place.
