We had an excellent Ameraucana show with 6 exhibitors showing 60 large fowl in the open show, and 1 exhibitor showing 7 head of whites in the bantam open show. Rip Stavely from Florida judged the large fowl.
Whites were the largest class with 26 head shown by two ABC members. Ernie Haire had BV on his white cock which also won RB. The RV was a hen shown by Diane Goddard. Sixteen head were shown in the black class by 3 ABC members. The BV was a cock shown by Paul & Angela Smith. He also was selected BB, best AOSB and Reserve large fowl of the show. The black hen shown by Paul & Angela was RV. Two ABC members showed 11 blues. The BV was a pullet shown by Paul & Angela. They also had RV on a cockerel. There were five head of splash shown by 3 ABC members. Aaron Hickson had the BV and RV on two splash pullets. There were only two blue wheatens shown by Paul & Angela Smith. Their cockerel was selected BV and pullet was RV.
In the open bantams Ernie Haire showed 7 head of whites. One of Ernie’s pullets won BV and BB, his cockerel was RV and RB. Soon there should be several more exhibitors with Ameraucana bantams, due to the amount of interest expressed in them.
There were 6 head of Jr. bantams shown by 2 juniors. Madison Buddle showed a black hen which was selected BV and RB. The other 5 head were EEL’s. They were judged by Troy Jones. Troy also judged the 8 head of large fowl shown by 3 juniors. One white a pullet shown by Kendall Gerfers won BB and best AOSB. One EEL was shown. Matthew Smith showed the other six head. Matthew’s BV blue pullet won RB and res. AOSB. His black pullet was selected BV and his cockerel RV. He also exhibited the only blue wheatens a pullet.
This was the Bluebonnet Classic’s 25th show and our first time to show at it. It was a very well run large show with a total of 1919 birds entered from Texas exhibitors. Photos of the BV and RV Ameraucanas will be posted ASAP.

Congratulations to all the winners! Rip Stavely is a great judge and knows a good Ameraucana when he sees one. He's also a really nice guy.
