Fiber Fantastic Coming to West Ranch


We are getting excited about our annual fiber event on August 15. We are hosting with Silver Springs Alpacas, Purple Mist Alpacas and Ranch of the Oaks. All are welcome to come and learn more about the myriad uses of alpaca fiber and also to share projects. Spinning, dyeing, felting, knitting, crochet, sorting, skirting etc. a one-day crash course!

Meanwhile, things at the Ranch are hopping. We are waiting on two more very pregnant moms and then we have a few weeks off before the next wave of cria is due. The five that are the most recent, (two Manchu cria, one Diego, two Barreda) are certainly keeping the Nursery Pen hopping and have been entertaining the Ranch visitors to no end.

Finally, the plans are beginning to evolve for Camelidynamics in October. We are really looking forward to having Marty back for the 4th year at West Ranch. We know that we will learn something new again as we always have in the past.

New Cria on the Ranch

Well, the nursery pen has been very busy... there are 4 bouncing babies running around the pen, keeping each other and the dams quite busy.

Congratulations to Eddie Jones on the arrival of Ariana's little female out of Diego and Sedona's little male out of Luke. Congratulations to Joan on the arrival of Dove's little female out of Manchu and to yours truly on the safe arrival of a little male out of Titania and Manchu. The quality of the babies only gets better!!!

Plans are firming up for the Fiber Fantastic, so join us on August 14 and 15 for a fun-filled weekend.
