We have been encouraged for quite some time now to share our stories of life on the ranch. Well, here we go getting our feet wet with our opening post. For us, literally getting our feet wet, as well as the alpacas, is a typical winter experience in the NW, so it seems as good a time as ever to get started.
2011 has already blown through it's first month. Somehow, beginning a new year makes me want to kick things into gear and start planning for all the activities of the year. Before I know it, January is over and we are on our way to another whirwind year with alpacas. As crazy, wet and most of the time just nasty as this time of year can be, there has been lots of activity and interest from people wanting to learn about raising alpacas. This is always exciting to see! As dreary and alarming as world events, economy and winter weather conditions can be, there is little I can think of more calming and satisfying as living with alpacas.
For the alpaca business this is a time we are planning for our spring shows, weaning last year's cria, halter training and looking forward to this year's crop of cria! More to come on all of that.....
Every day there is stuff going on at the ranch from routine chores, to ranch visits, herd health management, training, shearing, new cria being born and more. Keep up with everything here on our blog.
