ROBIN IS AN ACCOMPLISHED SPINNER AND KNITTER. FOUR YEARS AGO WE WERE LOOKING INTO GETTING SOME SHEEP ON THE FARM AND WENT TO A MULTIFARM SHEARING DAY. ONE OF THE PEOPLE THERE BROUGHT AN ALPACA ALONG WITH THEIR SHEEP. IT DIDN’T TAKE LONG FOR ROBIN TO GET HOOKED ON THESE GENTLE CREATURES.

DEAN, WHO ALWAYS HAD AN INTEREST IN UNUSAL ANIMALS SINCE LIVING IN EAST AFRICA FOR SEVERAL YEARS, DIDN’T TAKE MUCH CONVINCING TO INVEST IN ALPACAS.

OUR FOUR BOYS LIKED AN ANIMAL THAT THEY COULD HUG AND KISS. THEY ESPECIALLY LIKED THE FACT THAT DAD & MOM HAD TO TAKE CARE OF THEM. OF COURSE THEY DIDN’T REALIZE THAT AS THEY GREW OLDER THEY WOULD ALSO HAVE TO HELP.

WE USED THE INTERNET TO GATHER INFORMATION AND LOCATE LOCAL ALPACA BREEDERS. JIM & JEAN MORGAN AT J4ALPACAS WERE ESPECIALLY HELPFUL IN OUR DECISION TO TAKE THE PLUNGE.

WE STARTED OUR HERD WITH TWO BRED SURI FEMALES AND ONE FEMALE JUVENILE. WE NOW HAVE FIVE FEMALES AND SIX MALES. OUR PHYLOSOPHY IS TO BREED HIGH QUALITY SURI ALPACAS WITH STRONG BLOOD LINES.

WE HOPE TO ESTABLISH LONG STANDING RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR CLIENTS. WE ARE COMMITTED TO ASSISTING CLIENTS AS LONG AS NEEDED. WE OFFER SALES, BOARDING AND HERDSIRE SERVICES.

ALL OF THE ANIMALS ON OUR FARM RECEIVE MONTHLY WORMING MEDICATION AND YEARLY CDT SHOTS. MOST OF THE GRASS HAY WE USE WE GROW AND BALE IN OUR SOUTH PASTURE. DAILY MINERAL

SUPPLIMENTS ARE PROVIDED. WE USE THE TEAM APPROACH IN ANIMAL HANDLING.
