news news Show news Show news Increased bio-security at shows keeps breeders happy Most alpaca shows were less well attended this year after breeders’ fears about animal health rippled through the industry. The show organisers responded with increased biosecurity which worked well and the breeders attending appeared happy with the arrangements. British Alpaca Society Spring Show First off was the British Alpaca Society Spring Show organised by the South West Alpaca Group at the Bristol Sales Centre. This show has in the past been freezing cold with rain and high winds but this year there was balmy spring weather. Most of the major breeders make the trip south west for this show and competition was fierce. Cathy Lloyd was the fleece judge whilst Matt Lloyd and Tim Hey split the huacaya and suri halter classes between them.
