2008 has been an excellent year for Starwood Alpaca Farm.   Our females have unpacked some stunning crias and we have enjoyed excellent results in the show ring.

 Ipswich Agricultural Show gave us our first opportunity of the year to exhibit our show team and we were very pleased to bring home fifteen ribbons including three broad ribbons. Our lovely young female Starwood Acacia started the winning streak by not only winning her age class but was also awarded Champion Junior Female. Starwood Gladiator also impressed judge Steve Ridout and was sashed with a broad ribbon. Starwood fleeces dominated the Fleece section with wins in every category, culminating in the Supreme Champion Huacaya Fleece with a fleece from our new stud sire Briarmist Etherial. Briarmist Etherial also impressed judge Alan Jinks at the Sunshine Coast Alpacas on Show. Exhibited in his age class for the first time in Queensland, Etherial was judged the Champion Senior Male.

 In August, Starwood Alpacas proved their quality at the Royal Queensland Show (Ekka) when yet again every alpaca in the show team came home with a ribbon. Starwood Esmeralda with her fabulous cria at foot also taking out the Reserve Champion Senior Female, Briarmist Ehterial taking the Champion Senior Male AND the Supreme Champion Hucaya Fleece of the show.

Our final outing for the year was Gold Coast Agricultural Show. Yet again every animal in the show team did us proud with a swag of the ribbons. Higher awards were also gained with Starwood Exstacy sashed Champion Adult Female, Starwood Esmeralda sashed Champion Senior Female, and Briarmist Etherial sashed Reserve Champion Senior Male and Best White of Show. Not to be outdone Starwood Gladiator won his class and was awarded Best Wether of Show.
