New Critters on the Farm


We're getting two "fibre animals" this weekend!

The white-with-spots llama is Jefferson.

The cute brown cria is Alanna as a baby. She's almost a year old now. She is half suri alpaca, half llama.

Are you paying attention, Megan? SURI.....

I *am* paying attention and will be waiting for you to call when it's time to clip that lovely fibre off. I'm sure you'll need help, right???

Huge congrats! They look adorable...

Wow! I want to hear all about them!

They're coming here to guard the sheep. Yes, SHEEP! My dad's latest acquisitions.

Does one clip, shear or strip a camelid? We can experiment!

Okay guys, I am joining in on your little fibre fest now! I am a spinner and a weaver, perhaps I need to get out my wools and you guys can "bid" on them, I'll do the spinning!!!!

Wow, how cool. Alpaca and llamas!

I am jealous, I just have feral cats and stray racoons in my backyard.

I have to say, they really dress up the big field nicely. Very decorative animals.
