Time to plan a visit!  Our farm will be joining hundreds of farms across the nation this Fall by observing National Alpaca Farm Day.  We will be hosting an open house on Sept. 29 and 30 from 11am to 4pm each day.  Visitors will be able to observe the alpacas close up, dig elbow deep in a bag of luxurious shorn fleece, shop for alpaca socks, gloves, and teddy bears, and enjoy cookies and juice.  Keep your fingers crossed for pretty weather.

Recent Show Results: The last year has gone well for our show string.  Our older herdsires attended their last show, and now can relax at home and get down to the business of making babies full time.

November 2006 saw us in Clemson, SC for the Palmetto Classic where our herdsire O'Day took home a blue ribbon in his halter class.

March 2007 we took several yearlings to the Southern Select in Shelbyville, TN.  Franklyn and Royal were in the same class of Light Brown Juvenile Males, and took 3rd and 5th respectively.  Our darling Journey took 1st in a class of 5 Beige Juvenile Females.  It was a big moment for our small farm!  It was also my best birthday present (I turned 40 that day).

My sister Joan and I attended the 16th Annual AOBA Summer National Conference in Louisville, KY in May, but chose not to bring any animals this year.  Our older herdsires have proved themselves in the ring, and the length of the show-- 5 days-- is a long, stressful haul for the younger animals.  The youngsters will get their chance in October in Richmond, VA at the VAOBA Alpaca Expo.

We have a beautiful crop of crias and we have high hopes for their showring debut.  Come and see them strut their stuff!
