Is your clipper missing a tooth? Glad you got them all done. Boy, those are some pretty unhappy looking alpacas :gig They aren't going to let you get anywhere near them for the next 6 months! :lol:

I bet those fluffy animals are WAY more comfortable now. My boys are hanging in the barn whenever it is sunny out. Those blankets just gotta go!


It was most of a lifetime before I realized woodchucks and groundhogs were one and the same.
We don't have any here.
I'd be happy to send you a couple so you are not denied the opportunity to watch them run and have tunnels dug everywhere ;)

Ah got busy these past few days! So shearing went great and I have so much fleece! Here are some pictures, we had a long but sucessful day. Everyone was pretty easy to set up except Sequoia. He put up a fight and knocked the shearer over three times. And dont get me started on Alcalde..he screamed his head off, if you're interested you can watch the video here

And guess what happened yesterday? Ok I'll give you a hint..It involves Ras and something I've been saying I will do for over a year. Yup he is no longer a Ram, he is still in a funk but he has a significant improvement from yesterday. Im happy all went well, however he is much more shy now..Cannot say I blame him
