Gypsy at the Honeybee Festival
This weekend was the Palo Cedro Honeybee festival. We have been participating in this event for the last 6 years. We take alpaca products and a couple of alpacas each day. We are spinning and weaving in the booth but by far the biggest attraction is the alpacas.
We normally bring alpacas that are going to the fall shows. How better to socialize them than by being petted by every stranger attending the festival. We swap out animals each day. Attendees remarked we treat the alpacas bett read more...

She was upside down with her head back and her legs some how wrapped about her head. Thank goodness for vets with small hands, Betsy was up to her arm pits with both hands getting her turned around for delivery.
Magdalena was a healthy cria with good energy but seemed to be unable to nurse. All the correct instincts b read more...

Sparkle and Contessa
Can my girls pick the wrong days to deliver. This week has been unusually warm for Redding that is know for it's warm weather. Our temperatures over the last week have ranged from 106 to 113. We set a new record for the highest LOW temperature on record. That would be a mild 87 degrees.
You guessed it NOW was the time for Contessa to deliver. She had a small 12.7 pound female we named Sparkle in honor of her July 4th birthday. She has interesting markings at first was white and she had read more...
