3rd Place, 2026 TXOLAN Alpaca Spectacular: Halter, Huacaya Medium Fawn Juvenile Female (11)(Jacob Hart) Judge’s comments: “This was really a competitive class—the entire group of 11. So, I ultimately brought up the top six here within the group and then sorted them out in that manner. Third place has that substance of bone that I’m looking for, compared to that of second place. She has an overall compact frame; she is appropriately grown for the age. She was holding together the subgroups of staple type more firmly than that of fourth place.”
4th Place, 2026 TXOLAN Bluebonnet Stakes: Halter, Huacaya Medium Fawn Juvenile Female (Out of 11) (Kevin O’Leary) Judge’s comments: “That was almost like working for a living. I showed my arm band to a spectator, and his reply was I’m glad you have to make this decision and not me. It’s amazing how fine all the way across the board this whole line up was. This class, when they walked in. I kind of knew it was going to be a tough class, so I looked at them in multiple places the first time through. I didn’t just look at three or four spots; I looked at six to eight spots on every alpaca. When I get into my third and fourth, these were two juvies that were never shorn. When you first open up a juvie that has never been shorn, you look at it and go wow. Wait ‘til you see this next fleece that’s coming in. Then you look at it more and more, and you’re like wait a minute, it’s already here. My third place had a slight edge as far as the density goes, but didn’t have an edge as far as the fineness went, or the brightness. This fleece, you open it up and it just glistens when you’re looking at it. It's just really, really hand and groove.”
