Thanks to the judges Shane Carey and Kurtis Parker.

Convening a show and showing can be quite a juggling act but thanks to an amazing group of volunteers (too many to name) who help setup, packup, run the fleece section, run this show etc, it worked.

Last but not least, to my team of helpers including Shelby Lee, AJ Jeffery, Alissa and Linda and a number of clients who kept my team moving and had the right animals in the right place at the right time for me.

Last but by no means the least came our blacks. Yaringa Secret Liason from intermediate black female, Yaringa Gallantry from adult male and Yaringa Connexion from senior male all won their classes.

Yaringa Connexion came through as best black male and overall best black huacaya for the second year running.

It is an honour to be awarded a best of colour at the Nationals – and this year Yaringa has come home with four.

Its been a few years since Yaringa has produced a competitive grey. Yaringa Red August is by far the best grey we have produced.

Yaring Red August is sired by Yaringa Emperor Augustus (Yaringa Black Watch/Alpacaspecialist Dynasty) out of Yaringa Highland Rose (Wyterrica Propaganda/Gladiator lines).

He came out victor in a tough intermediate male class – went on to best grey male and overall best grey huacaya.

To top it off, Yaringa Red August was also awarded champion grey fleece.

11/08/2025

Next into the ring were the Yaringa roans. Three class winners, adult female Yaringa Cheyenne, junior male Yaringa Face Value and Adult male Yaringa Audacity.

Yaringa Audacity is sired by our fawn Champion from a few years back Yaringa Gragas out of Yaringa Black Destiny – a Yaringa Black Watch daughter.

Yaringa Audacity came through for us winning best roan male and then overall best roan huacaya. We are excited for this boy’s future – next stop certification and then he is packing his bags to head to a new home.

Yesterday was extremely exciting for the Yaringa team at the Nationals. First into the ring was a special young lady called Yaringa Christina, winner of the junior brown female class.

Chrstina’s dam Yaringa Bianca won dam’s progeny at the 2022 AAA National Show so Bianca has produced quality cria in the past but Christina is exceptional.

Christina is special to us because she is the first cria by her sire Atikaneila Simba (Yaringa Commander ET/Yaringa Maritza), and she is named for Simba’s breeder the late Christina McKerchar.

Yaringa Christina was awarded best brown female and then overall best brown huacaya, a fitting tribute to the lovely lady she was named after.

Two great days at the National Show for team Yaringa. 18 animals shown, 9 x 1st, 2 x 2nd, 1 x 3rd, 1 x 4th, 2 x Highly commended.

Very proud of these three boys who won their classes today. These boys are all available to join your herd.
