BIG NEWS FROM OFFBEAT ACRES!

First, we bought a new boy, Prestige of Lucky Luciano. We proudly co-own Prestige with Willow Bend Alpaca Farms of Forreston, IL. (If you're ever at an alpaca show and see Willow Bend, go over and introduce yourself to Patti. She is an absolute riot and just a great soul.)

Prestige is a beautiful, rose grey herdsire. He'll be 2 in June, and has already settled his first girl! We plan to breed him to our very own Sweet Caroline (the first cria born at Offbeat Acres, back in 2008).





But, here's the best news: we showed Prestige at the Great Midwest Alpaca Fest last weekend. WE NOW HAVE PURPLE!!! Before GMAF, our best placing in a show was a 2nd, with Roni. Yes, Prestige had collected plenty of blue ribbons before GMAF too, but no color championships. I had the privilege of showing Prestige at GMAF in a class of combined grey yearlings, and not only did we place first in the class, WE TOOK HOME THE RESERVE COLOR CHAMPION PURPLE!!

I've attached the "before" & "after" picture, of Prestige & his ribbons at GMAF!
