Alpaca on show

More than 400 alpaca are on display at Baypark as part of the New Zealand Alpaca Association's National Alpaca Show.

Show convenor Hermione Richards won the Supreme Champion Award for the Suri Category.

'It's really great. I'm just so excited and happy.


Medium, fawn, intermediate, male Huacaya alpaca are judged at the show.

Alpaca wool was also judged at the show.

"We have lots of people coming through and it's a great day.”

460 alpacas are competing in the two different categories – Suri and Huacaya.

'Tomorrow we will be finishing up the alpaca show and having an alpaca auction.”

Hermione says six of the top alpacas will go up for auction.

'That will be a good thing for people to see.”

The Alpaca Show is a gold coin donation for people to get into the event.

Great looking display but how do you pick the TCC Councillors-I know the intelligent beings have 4 legs and are called alpacas.
