Houghton Jubilation (or Juby as we call her) joined our herd in January 2018 and what an impact she has made scooping 3 successive Supreme Championships including the BAS National Show Supreme Champion Huacaya for Fangdale Alpacas! At the National Show, the largest in Europe,  she competed with over 600 Alpacas from across the country and was awarded Champion Fawn Fleece (for her junior fleece), Champion Brown female and the ultimate Supreme Championship. 

After a nail-biting 15-20 minute wait while the international judging team reduced the Championship line-up to a field of four, Jubilation was eventually awarded Supreme over a superb White Male – Bozedown Blaze of Glory. We were absolutely delighted as it is unusual for a darker coloured Huacaya to take top honours at the National Show. Jubilation was commended for her uniformity of coverage, fineness, fleece style, absence of primary fibres, density and sheer volume of fleece.

Following her National Show Success, Jubilation went on to take Supreme Championships at the North West Alpaca Group Show and the Scottish Alpaca Group Show before retiring from the show ring to be mated to a National Champion stud male. We are very excited to see what this stunning combination produces next year! In 2017, we made a decision to refocus and strengthen our breeding programme, Jubilation was one of six elite female Alpacas released for sale to us by Houghton Hall who we hope, alongside our other investments will take our herd to the next level.
