Copper Hills 4-H Alpaca Project - Pearl Rollings


Copper Hills 4H Alpaca Project Competition

            My name is Pearl Rollings and I am in 4th grade.  I am in the Copper Hills 4H Alpaca Project this year, and this Saturday, May 12, is our alpaca competition for County fair at 10:00 am. Yay! I can’t wait for fair, so I can show off all the great things I have learned to do with my alpaca.  But I would like to thank my brother the most because I could not be able to show without him.  He showed me many techniques about showing alpacas like always keep a “J” loop and a good attitude because your attitude affects your alpaca’s attitude. 
We will have showmanship and obstacle courses.  We compete against each other, but mostly we just want to do our best.  I can’t wait to show my alpaca because I believe me and my alpaca worked so hard to get to fair that we will succeed.  And maybe, when I’m in high school, I will make it to FFA.  I am really happy learning in 4H.  I also remember when I was a mini-member working with rabbits, I had a lot of fun making presentations at my school.  I watched my big brother, Levi, succeed to being the grand champion for alpaca two years in a row.  When I turned old enough to show this year, I knew I was going to succeed and I believe I will.  Come see the fun everybody.
