Alpaca Shearing 2005

Well we're finally done with shearing this year. First we sheared all of our alpacas and then we sheared three other ranches that needed our help. It was fun but it'll be awhile before my back and knees forgive me. :)

I've included a before and after picture of Samson Knight so you can get an idea as to what an alpaca looks like before and after shearing. It doesn't even look like the same boy!

In fact the alpacas even have a funny reaction towards each other after shearing. They all gather around inspecting each others hair-doos. We get a big kick out of them as they check each other out. Now they're ready for spring breeding and for the warmer weather.

This year we'll be sending our fleece down to the Roswell Woolmarket in New Mexico. They need 5000 lbs. before they can put it on the world market. They currently have 1000 lbs. so if any alpaca farms are interested in sending their fleece please feel free to contact us for the info.

Another Beautiful Colt

While we're waiting on the alpacas to have their babies, I thought I'd share our newest addition.

Daisy had her colt yesterday and he is adorable. He has the markings of a buckskin but he's dark. He has two white socks in the back but the wildflowers (weeds) cover them up in the picture.



The horses in the background of the picture are the boys. They had to check out the new baby too.

Our First Alpaca Cria for 2005

It's a girl!!!

Selina had her baby on 4/14/05 and we're so excited because this little girl is gorgeous!

We've decided to name her Sienna.



Here she is at only 3 days old and she's already a whopping 17 lbs.
We'll definitely have fun showing this one.

Our First Born for 2005

Well, our first born this year isn't an alpaca but a colt.

Our gal, Vegas, had a beautiful buckskin paint colt out of our handsome stud, Blue Poco Fax, a Take it to the Max boy.
