2009 KUMEU SHOW
After the recent unsettled weather Kumeu Show Sunday was fine and not too hot.
The judge was Kevin Burgess from Christchurch, assisted by apprentice judge, Lloyd Johnson, also from Christchurch. There are no fleeces shown at Kumeu but there were over 100 alpaca breed entries and breeders came from as far away as New Plymouth and Whangarei.
Most of our own "Simply Alpacas" are either too recently shorn or too pregnant to be shown but we did enter a wonderful selection of the Cedar House alpacas that are based with us here in Auckland.
All 7 of the Cedar House entries won ribbons and the full results can be seen on our Show Results page.
Those ribbons included:
Champion Junior Suri Female for Cedar House Nellie Melba, daughter of the multi Supreme Champion female, Surico Yulia and also full sister to the Multi Supreme Champion male, Cedar House Pavorotti
Reserve Champion Senior Female Suri for Cedar House Silk Sensation - Sensation's sire is Cedar House Liberache and she has double Peruvian Senator in her pedigree.
Champion Senior Female Huacaya for Cedar House Golden Dawn - Dawn has only been shown twice. Last year also at Kumeu she was Reserve Champion Intermediate Female placing second to the Champion, the incomparable female, Cedar House Marilyn Munro (now exported to the UK). Both Marilyn Munro and Golden Dawn were sired by the Arequipa (Peru) Champion, the superb Cedar House Tijera Hugo.
Champion Junior Female Huacaya AND Champion Med/Dark Fawn Huacaya for Cedar House Kahlua - Kahlua is only 7 months old but well grown with good conformation. She has a beautiful fleece with low micron, a high frequency crimp, excellent brightness (lustre), very good density and super soft handle. The quality carries throughout the entire fleece into the neck, belly and legs. Kahlua has been a pleasure to halter train as she always tries to please and has inherited her calm, gentle temperament from both her sire, Cedar House Zephyr and her dam, Jentez Park Mocca, a quality daughter of Cedar House Peru Accoyo Jacomo. At the final lineup the judge said it was a very close decision between Kahlua, the Junior Male Champion and the Senior Male that was eventually awarded the Supreme. I was very proud of the way Kahlua showed herself off at the show - she's a natural!
The highlight of the day was winning the Supreme Champion Suri with a 49 month old female, Cedar House Silk Pride. The line up of Suri Champions was impressive and several had already won Supremes at shows earlier in the year so our two entries, Nellie Melba and Silk Pride faced some tough competition.
Silk Pride has been shorn 3 times and had 13 months fleece on her. She's had two cria, both females, with the latest just two months old. Her outstanding pedigree contains all USA bloodlines. Her sire is Cedar House Silk Prince, a Peruvian Senator son and her dam is Cedar House Showpiece sired by ILR Peruvian Amador out of a Peruvian Senator female.
Silk Pride has only been shown twice. The first time was also in New Zealand at the 2007 National Expo where she was Reserve Champion Senior Female in a class described by USA judge Jude Anderson as the best Senior Female class she had seen anywhere in the world. The winner and Champion from that class, Surico Ballerina went on to be the Supreme Champion Suri later in the show.

CEDAR HOUSE OTTOMAN
We are delighted to announce the arrival of the first cria sired by Cedar House Ottoman on 28 December 2008.
The dam is Bova Whoopi, a solid dark brown, almost black, female.
The fleece on this cria looked and felt very special even before he was properly dry. It is really packed on and feels solid with tight crimp right from the skin to the tips, is highly lustrous and forming small bundles. It will be exciting to see how this fleece develops and we are keenly awaiting the next Ottoman cria also due end of December.

Cedar House bred Alpacas and their progeny have received excellent placings in the UK Shows in 2006, 2007 and 2008. The names of exported alpacas are sometimes changed so we have included the original prefix in brackets eg Rock Star of Houghton was originally Cedar House Rock Star when bred in Australia.
