https://www.openherd.comKeep on the "Sunny" side of life!https://www.openherd.com/article-list/2776SURPRISE!!! Went out for about 3 hours on Saturday morning and came back to find a new little GIRL! The surprise is that she wasn't born to the mom that was currently in the maternity yard (and overdue by 2 days) ... oh no, this little girl was born to our awesome foundation female Divinity who wasn't due for another 3 weeks. Little girl was out in the pasture, standing, nursing and walking/running around with the "big kids!" Mom and baby are both doing great, and although born 3 weeks early, li...Sun, 01 Sep 2013 23:51:10 +0000https://www.openherd.com/article-list/2212Alpacas are intrigued by children - especially the first time they see them!

An added bonus for those who love birds is that birds love to snitch fleece to use in their nests. For quite a while, my grapevine ball has looked like it may have had some "visitors," but I was never able to catch the elusive bird(s) in action ... until now! Check out the pictures of my fe...Tue, 08 Dec 2020 15:59:03 +0000https://www.openherd.com/article-list/283We received a very special Easter present this year!!! The first cria of the year arrived on Easter Sunday to mom Divinity (Peruvian Presidio daughter, Caligula granddaughter) and dad MFI Peruvian Wellington (a PPPeruvian Augusto son). We thought last year's 17 lb "Moose" was a whopper, but this boy takes the cake weighing in at 20 lbs!!!! He is a beautiful, brilliant white little man with super soft curly fleece. Mom Divinity delivered her gift unassisted - he was found during a barn check stan...Fri, 06 May 2011 13:21:12 +0000
