Malvern Show at Sheffield

To the 2012 sponsors of the Sheffield show, it has just been brought to our attention that when the A & P Assoc shedule went to print they mistakenly printed the 2011 sponsors... I am so sorry about this mistake and I asure you that the show catalogue will show your sponsor names correctly. Shirley

Judges Profiles

Sarah Busby

Hawkes Bay

Sarah Busby and her husband Peter run Gilt Edge Alpacas in Hawkes Bay where they specialise in white huacaya alpacas. Sarah has a background in research science and has always had a hands-on approach to all the facets of her life. Sarah enjoys the objectivity of fleece judging and also enjoys the experience of marrying the touch of a fleece with its visual characteristics. She set out to become a specialist fleece-only judge when she entered the apprentice judge scheme in 2007 as she realised that fleece judging would be her passion. She trained alongside Australian and New Zealand Judges and has continued to up-skill by visiting Huacaya and Suri Breeders both in NZ and Australia too. Sarah is keen to encourage anyone to put their fleeces into shows as the experience can offer members a learning opportunity. When you get your fleece back from the show, lay it out and go through the scorecard, try to see why the Judge has marked it the way they did, be objective and really see and touch the fleece all over. Even if you do not score very highly, you can still love your alpaca and learn from the results. It cannot fail to help you make more informed breeding decisions.
