Hi, this is Jill Bergman and I am going to talk to you about what happens when you get
your animal your alpaca into the show ring. You have a definite direction in which your
to walk so that the judge can examine how the alpacas walk is. If it?s a good walk a
good gait and we walk right past the judge she takes a look to see or he or she takes
a look to see the straightness of the alpacas back and then we walk away from the judge
and the judge looks to see how the back end of the animal is moving and then she has us
all line up in a certain direction and she kind of has a competitive study to see how
the alpacas profile is and from the profile then she starts examining each alpaca and
the first thing that the judge wants to see is the alpacas teeth. So we take the alpaca
open its mouth and she gets to examine its teeth. After she examines the alpaca?s teeth.
She checks out the whole body of that alpaca. After the judge examines each alpaca inspects
the fleece to make sure that the best fleece gets first place. The second gets second place
she will award these alpacas form first to sixth place and the alpacas the alpacas that
are not awarded up to the sixth place will be asked to leave the ring. These six alpacas
are left in the ring and then the judge will go first to second to third and give its called
I think its called a judgment on each alpaca that she feels that justifies her placement
of the alpaca from first to sixth place. Then the ribbons are given from the blue ribbon
to the red ribbon all the way down to sixth place. From there we go into what?s called
a championship round.
