Another BLUE for Takoda!
The 2011 show season has begun for Salt Creek Alpacas, Inc.!
Takoda rocked the White Yearling class of 10 by taking the blue (1st) at the TXOLAN Spectacular Fleece Show in Texas. Cedar and Kohana each took 2nd – awesome for a couple of rowdy boys who loved to roll in the mud, straw, hay – whatever they could find! Great job fellas!!
Off to Neenah, WI for the Spring Bling! What a fun show this always is. Great facility, great friends, and it is always wonderful to see the newest kids read more...
Bred & Owned and a trophy for Goldie!
Kohana gets another BLUE!
Blackjack (SOLD! to Nueva Dia Alpacas) gets Reserve Champ!

December snows!
Been a flurry of activity here at the alpaca ranch! Holiday season brings out the shoppers looking for stocking stuffers (what better than alpaca socks or mittens?) and other delightful products to surprise friends and relatives. Love the shoppers - but it sure keeps us busy!
Even the heavy snows don't keep the shoppers away...as promised, the day before Christmas we get a coating of white! But that didn't keep shoppers away at all! They lined up looking for those last minute alpaca items read more...
That's not an alpaca glove!

6x - Color Champion Takoda
We had an excellent time at the Springfield Alpacafest. Excellent time to see friends and some wonderful and impressive alpacas. Salt Creek Alpacas did
Takoda, our 2 1/2 year old white male, took his 6th championship at this show! AWESOME! This is one male that just continues to impress us. Not only does he have an incredible handle (maintains that 19 micron count as a 2 1/2 year old!), but the density and consistency of this blanket is just and eye-popping WOW! Secretly, we just lov read more...
Blackjack - another blue!
