We're going to be sending the females and their cria over to the south barn in the next few weeks so it was time to mow, edge and just clean up in general.

Sandy was off by herself and looking fairly uncomfortable. She let me approach her and lift her tail. Lo and behold the placental sack was protruding with no baby in sight. Not good anytime, but a Saturday night, after hours, on a holiday weekend is REALLY not good... http://www.tahoebreezealpacas.com/journal/may28.html Today looked like a beautiful day to go out and take some pictures of the shorn and unshorn alpacas hanging out.

This fancy new RSS feed should help! http://tahoebreezealpacas.com/journal/may17.html Wow, it’s time for shearing again. This time of year is filled with a variety of emotion from anticipation all the way to anxiety, but mostly anticipation. More on the “anxiety” part later. http://www.tahoebreezealpacas.com/journal/may14.html This is the beginning of our Alpaca journal. In the coming weeks and months we’ll hopefully be able to provide readers with some insight to the daily routine of a working alpaca ranch. By understanding what we do here and how we do it, we hope to provide other alpaca breeders with useful information on what works for us, and just as importantly, what doesn’t work.
