North Somerset Agricultural Show

Bank Holiday Monday 4th May 2026 supreme champion fleur

We attended the North Somerset Show for the first time this year, and we did not leave disappointed!

We kicked off with little Fern taking 2nd in the Huacaya Junior Female - Black category. Our last born in 2025, so treated as 'the baby' by the family we were really chuffed with how well she did. Lovely Lyra also brought home a very respectable 2nd in the Huacaya Adult Female - Black category.

Next came fantastic Fraser (known as FJ on the farm). He came 2nd to the fabulous Puzletree IKB who had also pipped him at the National back in March with the very high standard Huacaya Junior Male - Black contingent. Floofy Fernando came in a very fun fifth, but this wasn't ultimately his main event of the day for the Wolfridge team....

We were riding high on our clutch on second place rosettes, with cute teddy-like Wolfridge Fleur awaiting her category. We were absolutely delighted when she won our inauguraul BLUE ribbon for 1st place in the Huacaya Junior Female - Fawn category! However, this wasn't the end of the story, as Fleur went on to win Huacaya Champion Fawn Female and our first ever CHAMPION SASH. 


Team Junior Hyslop took to the show-ring with Fernando and our eldest, plus Fern and our youngest, competing in their respective Junior Handler competitions. Both children came away with.... yes, the magic number of the day.... 2nd places! For a first outing in a young handler competition, we were all really impressed with their performances (and how well our eldest delt with Fernando wanting to chill out and sit on his handler's feet!) - so Fern and Fernando had a successful additional trip in the ring.

At the very end of the day, all the Champion animals enter the show ring for the final time - and what a gorgeous display of alpacas! The sun had decided to shine and team Wolfridge were just buzzing with the excitement of being in the big final when..... Fleur was named Huacaya Supreme Champion! She's not even a year old, and already shows great "fineness, density and uniformity of micron" according to judge Tim Hey, earning her the 'best in show' sash - which in alpaca circles is Supreme Champion. What a day!

We cannot mention the event without sending our thanks to judge Tim Hey, Head Steward Garry Naish and his supporting team as well as all the other exhibitors for a brilliantly run show.

A special thank you goes to our wonderful volunteers Mick & Nic Dore for all the support and hard work and to Mark Steele from Patou Alpacas 🤎 we brought home Supreme Champ for you! 
We’re incredibly grateful — and very proud of our alpacas and team.
 

Alpaca Babies

In 2025, we are celebrated our most successful breeding season yet, with 14 alpacas born across the farm. The arrival of the new cria (baby alpacas) marks a record for us, with our previous total of eight in one 'unpacking' season. We first began breeding alpacas in 2018, opened the Barn to the public in 2022 and have brought mums and cria to the Barn for the first time in 2025. 

Unpacking season will restart this summer and we are hoping for even more this year-, over TWENTY across the farm! We're planning on bringing ten expectant mums up to the barn soon, so watch this space for Baby Watch and follow our socials: Instagram @wolfridge_alpaca and facebook.com/WolfridgeAlpaca

 

 

Wolfridge Alpaca Wins Champion Small Breeder at the National Alpaca Show

Wolfridge Alpaca Stud has celebrated major success at the British Alpaca Society National Show in March 2026, with all eight alpacas entered achieving a placing and the farm being awarded Champion Small Breeder

Highlights: 2nd Place: Sibillini, Fraser    3rd Place: Rubin, Flossie, Lyra

A standout moment was Fraser taking 2nd place in the Black Junior Huacaya Male class — a family favourite named by the Hyslops’ young son (after himself!).

The team was supported by volunteers Nic and Mick Dore, with Mick (seen here with Fraser) assisting Craig in the show ring.
