Well I have gone and done it now. Another new fiber animal to work with in the mix at our farm
We went out today to buy a couple of white alpaca females and came home with 4. 2 whites, 1 black and 1 fawn. They are in need of some TLC for sure. I will have to try and trim up their fiber for the winter. They have at least 3 years of growth on them. I will have to try and trim that back so they don't get weighed down too much carrying all that through the wet and snow.
Can't shear them now as it is going to get COLD any time now.
Then to add to the mix here, we came home with 4 absolutely gorgeous suri llamas. 1 really bred male and 3 well bred females. Their fiber is so fine and has such great luster. We just had to have them. LOL
More feed, more work, more fiber. LOL OH well
Well when we get them home I will try and get some pics of them and post them for all to see.
