Baynton’s Precision Alpaca Group has celebrated a fairytale 2024 show season, having won Supreme Grand Champion on six occasions.
The group secured the top title at this year’s: Canberra Royal, Sydney Easter Royal, Melbourne Royal, Australian Alpaca Association National Show, Charles Ledger Alpaca Show, and Christmas Carnival of Colour.
Precision Alpaca Group’s Taryan and Max Mathews were thrilled to achieve a series of milestones for the family including the first national win in August.
“We’ve had a lot of wins. We’re still on cloud nine and I think that feeling will last until next season,” Max said.
“Obviously, winning the nationals was a big one – we have been dreaming of winning that our whole lives. We’ve had the success that you dream about.”
The family was pleased to have produced wins across the six shows with four different alpacas.
However, the most exciting national win was with an alpaca tracing back to original alpacas purchased by both sides of the family decades ago.
This year also marked the 30-year anniversary of Taryan’s parents Erika and Con Kotsiakos beginning their alpaca journey.
Max’s grandparents Fay and George Wilson began their alpaca journey in 1996.
