AVEREGAN'S RIPTIDE

SHE DOES IT AGAIN!!!! Supreme Female for the 4th time!!!! What a way to end a show career, Jill Macleod gave Merida her 4th Supreme title last weekend at the 2016 Quebec show!!!! Merida has now finished her show career staying in Quebec at Ariya Alpacas to be bred to Snowmass Pure Reserve!!! I talk a lot about layers in a breeding program, I am very critical of my animals and truly believe there is no perfect animal. I must say Merida is darn close, there sure isn't much I would change on this girl. Judges agree awarding her 1st Place soaking wet fresh of a 30 hour trailer ride, at the Keystone show, and placing her BEST IN SHOW the following three shows after that. Merida is a gorgeous female, beautiful headstyle, well covered with an upright supermodel frame. We sheared her as a cria in the middle of July and she easily had more staple than any animal she competed against in the show ring. Her mother Memphis is in the top 1% EPD for fleece weight 3 years in a row. Her sire Scotty Bar was Best In Show winner in 2011 at the AO Show, largest in Canada. Merida is extremely consistent and uniform holding that consistency down to her knees and deep into her belly. As she approaches two years of age our largest decision remains who to breed her to Stay tuned.
