1st Place, ESTATES PHARAOH'S STRENGTH - 2026 Wild West Alpaca Show: Halter, Huacaya Black Juvenile Male (Class of 5) (Judge: Wade Gease) Judge’s comments: “…all the way through, and you can feel it coming in even more down to the skin level, so this is definitely one to watch as he develops. He had that micron edge, but also uniformity too, with that density.  On top of that, he has a beautiful, striking, phenotypical look. Well done.“

1st Place, ESTATES ROMEO THE MAGNIFICENT - 2026 Wild West Alpaca Show: Halter, Huacaya Black Two-Year-Old Male (Class of 2) (Judge: Wade Gease) Judge Comments: “First place had just a few advantages/advantageous points. Coming out, conformationally - your alpaca really does just stand up, really quite naturally, especially that front end section, with the alignment of the neck to the top line, also your leg structure is really quite strong and very straight, and it was quite smooth in your movement as you walked in. On top of that, the tip of hat was a slight advantage for your micron uniformity of general micron range. I really appreciate his overall density, character and style.”

2nd Place, ESTATES JAY Z NORDIC GOLDEN BEAUTY - 2026 Wild West Alpaca Show: Halter, Huacaya Light Juvenile Female (Class of 5) (Judge: Amanda VandenBosch) Judge’s comments: “Second place was the youngest in the class, is more compact in her frame. Definitely correct and upright in her conformational characteristics. I appreciate the development style of her frame at such a young age. When we get into her fleece, she is exhibiting a beautiful compactness to her fleece that is extremely consistent across her blanket, and the length of her staple as well, and architecture is very well-defined skin to tip, bringing her up into second place. Congratulations.”

2nd Place, ESTATES ULTIMATE BLACK KNIGHT - 2026 Wild West Alpaca Show: Halter, Huacaya Black Juvenile Male (Class of 5) (Judge: Wade Gease) Judge’s comments: “Strong conformational presence, especially his straight legs as he entered the ring. That front entry spot can be either very, very positive or negative spot for your entry, and for you, it was quite positive with this very typey, put-together, compact male. On top, he came up with having the next more in line of our micron uniformed fleece.” *First Place/Reserve Champion was our Estates Pharaoh's Strength
