Lady Gaga comes to Cumbria

We arrived home from the British Alpaca Futurity this afternoon very tired but well impressed. The organisers of the event are to be congratulated on what we thought was an extremely well ran couple of days. The lectures that we attended regarding birthing and pregnancy loss were all very informative and represented excellent value for money. The biosecurity measures that were in place worked well and created a much more open feel in the exhibition hall. The fleece show, new for 2010, I thought was a great addition to the event. Getting the chance to examine EP Cambridge Navigator's fleece up close was definitely a bonus.
We are also very excited to announce that Beck Brow Alpacas of Cumbria were the successful bidders for EP Cambridge Lady Gaga at the Futurity silent auction. The auction closed at 21.30 hours during the evening celebration dinner, so we were kept in suspense to the very last minute. We did have some serious competition for her, which resulted in her fetching a higher price then we originally anticipated but she represents exactly what we are trying to achieve in our fawn herd and will join the elite team. Lady Gaga has been mated to Eringa Park The Commandante creating some very exciting prospects for a top quality fawn cria. Lets just keep our fingers crossed though, no tempting fate!
