We had a great time during Alpaca Farm Days!
Thanks to all our wonderful visitors who braved the elements and came out to help us celebrate National Alpaca Farm Days, Sept. 29-30, 2007. We met many new and old friends, and several great folks who are planning an alpaca business of their own and will return for followup farm visits to learn more. We enjoyed a hot cup of "joe" and chocolate cake celebrating the first birthday of Sunriver of Genesis, a gorgeous young male who had just won his first ribbon.
As "promised", a new cria! Nothing could be more exciting than witnessing a birth. Our first visitors on Saturday morning watched the arrival of a healthy baby girl, 17.3 lbs. Not to be outdone, mama's daughters produced babies of their own soon after: Amazing Grace delivered snow white Sweet Mercy on Oct. 3, and Lady Godiva delivered a caramel and white pattered male on Oct. 16.
All the babies are thriving, either pestering each other (kids!) or glued together like best buddies. We call them the Three Musketeers.
Mark your calendars for next year, Sat/Sun, Sept. 27-28, 2008 for another fun weekend on the farm! See you there!
