·  Simba of A.L. Paca's wins another Get-of-Sire!  At 2008 MAPACA (the Eastern Alpaca Jubilee) Simba's crias won for him, his sixth 1st place win in what many consider to be the most important competition at an alpaca show. 2008 MAPACA is also expected to be one of, if not the largest shows of the year.

·  The Aga Khan was the second highest selling consignment and A.L. Paca's Khannie was the highest selling female at the 2008 Futurity.

·  Two Championships won at the 2008 Futurity. We took a total of 5 to the show and with this small group won 2 reserve championship trophies, 2 blue ribbons, one 3rd and one 4th place ribbon in extremely competitive classes.  One of our Futurity champions was sired by our 9-time champion and 6-time Get-of-Sire winner Simba of A.L. Paca's.  Our other Futurity  champion was sold to us by our friends at BlueGenes Alpaca Ranch.  Our thanks are extended again to J.C. Williamson and Nancy Barkoviak for producing, and then selling to us, such a wonderful grey female as BlueGenes Sally Gray!

·  A.L. Paca's Rose to the Occasion becomes the highest selling lot at the 2007 AOBA National Conference.  She is just the second alpaca we have ever placed at auction and both were the highest selling consignments. See more of this incredible proven silver-grey female here!

·  A.L. Paca's Chiri Upper wins her 15th AND 16th Color Championships at the 2007 AOBA National Conference.  In addition to Color Champion Grey Female (halter) and Color Champion Grey Female (fleece), she went on to also win 1st in Bred and Owned Yearling Female (her 5th win in this class).  As the Bred and Owned class consisted of combined colors, Chiri bested the whites and fawns for the 5th time.
