This huge cattle andhorse market, started in the 18th centuryby thieves to sell their booty, attractsabout 35 to 40,000 people.Each year the Lama & Alpaga showis organised & hosted by a differentbreeder in various parts of France. By lastNovember no breeder had come forwardto undertake this somewhat dauntingtask. Beauvautrait Alpacas stepped intothe breech and what made it even moredaunting is the fact that Beauvautraitare owned by an English family, the fi rsttime the show had been hosted by anewcomer to France. This year for thefi rst time it was attached to a far biggershow and we had two internationaljudges, Suzan Tellez from America tojudge Lamas and give a seminar onbreeding improvements in Llamas andVal Fullerlove from the UK to judge theAlpacas. As always at French shows,Saturday night saw all the participants, helpers judges gathered for a feast oflocal specialities.Although a tiny show by comparisonwith most in England, both judgescommented on the very high quality ofthe winners.The results;Lamas Supreme Champion Compinche,Elevage de Garenne.Reserve Orichalque de Parraissac Female,medium fl eece AlpacaSuri Supreme Champion Madonna,Elevage de Garenne,Reserve Kate, Elevage de GarenneHuacaya Supreme Champion Bolitis dela GlaciereReservre Classical Arkantos atBeauvautraitBest Adult Female Beauvautrait Julia8 | Alpaca World Magazine Summer 2005
