Gracie and Donte
What a wonderful feeling when you sell your pregnant maidens and then they have their first cria. We sold Gracie and Kenadee last year and this month both of them gave birth to perfect healthy crias. First what is in the air that these spring births are taking so long. Gracie went 365 days and had a beautiful brown boy, Dante, who was up in no time and now at 3 wks old eating grain twice a day and putting on weight just like he should. Kenadee give birth this morning 366 days and we told the new owners to expect a white baby as our Lightening has had 11 crias 8 of them girls and all white. Well out comes this perfect light brown baby girl this morning. Talk about a shock. So they are the proud owners of Lady Deelight. Lee and I are so happy for our clients and their new babies. Congratulations to Jerome and Pam.

Brody getting ready for his trip to the nursing home
It is time for Brody to go visit our nursing home since his dad, Zac, and his sister, Candi have been sold. We started out trying Zac a few years ago and he was such a hit he had made many visits to see all the patients. Then one day we decided to take Candi to see if she could do the job. The staff and patients loved her just as much as Azc. Soon both were sold and we needed to train Brody to fill their shoes. All three of these alpacas are two tone and really stand out when they go into a patients room. Brody will make his first trip next week and I will be back to let you know how he did.

This is our 3rd generation of alpacas for using doggie doors. First is was our Thunder and he just had to be any where but where we put him. Then both his male crias Mr. Cooper and Bullet. Heck Bullet was 3 yrs. old and still going thru the small doors. So now we have the last Ranger from our Cooper. This guy is a year old and wants to be in the same pasture with his mom. Only to eat grass next to her and hum back and forth. The other girls all spit at him and go off to the next pasture but his mom, Sugar stays right by him. It is so cute to watch but again we will have to board up that doggie door to keep him in with the Jr. boys again. We just watch because when we go out and he can see us he runs and goes back into the pasture he should be and when we leave he is back with his mom. These pacas are so smart and such a joy.

Once again shearing day came and how lucky we were that we had no rain before or during. Thanks to our dear friends who give their time each year to help us out we had another very smooth shearing day. Once we were finished at our farm and we all sat for a while to eat and relax we all went with the shearer and heads men to the next farm who just happened to be our last clients and helped them out.
Remember back to your first shearing and the stress and fear we all had. With all of us all helping out the new farm we hoped we made it a better experience for them. This is what we like to think that all alpaca owners will chip in and help new farms get their feet wet. Our new client took that one step farther and fell into the large water bucket. Nice way to stay cool for the rest of the day.

Tippy watching over the herd
We are here to answer any questions you may have about alpacas and the life style so many folks are choosing today. You will learn the difference between Suri and Huacaya Alpacas and the difference in their fiber. You will be able to touch each alpacas and feel how each of them are different. Learn the importance of fencing and how you will have peace of mind when you have guard dogs to protect your herd. Just call or email us for an appointment to come meet us and our alpacas and how to get started in this new life style.
The little ones love kisses
Sugar loves to shop in our store
