Betting the Farm: Shearing Day-Part 1
http://btfalpacas.blogspot.com/2010/05/shearing-day-part-1.html
A simple tale of a simple family in search of a simple life. Check out our alpacas. Saturday, May 15, 2010. This is the second year that I have been part of the ground crew. This means I have an active role with the shearing team. First, a team of folks walk the alpaca into the shearing area, place ropes on their legs, and pull the ropes tight to take them to the ground. It seems harsh, but it is really for the alpaca's safety. Now, it is time for the shearers to start shearing the blanket. It is very ph...

Betting the Farm: The Futurity
http://btfalpacas.blogspot.com/2010/04/futurity.html
A simple tale of a simple family in search of a simple life. Check out our alpacas. Monday, April 19, 2010. The sale was much better than last year. The highest selling alpaca was a Suri (yea! Owned by Wilkins Livestock. She went for $70,000. That's right my friends! You too may be able to breed a female that goes for the big bucks. I sure hope we do someday. We just bought a herdsire from Wilkins. He is beautiful and a bargain at only 5% of that price. I'll take it. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Betting the Farm: In the beginning
http://btfalpacas.blogspot.com/2010/04/in-beginning.html
A simple tale of a simple family in search of a simple life. Check out our alpacas. Sunday, April 18, 2010. Present day, we are still living in the city and agisting our alpacas. Like many, we bought our house at the top of the housing market. So.we wait.not so patiently for the right time and the right farm to continue our dream. I figure an outlet for our highs and lows would be therapeutic for me and hopefully entertaining for you. Welcome! May 11, 2010 at 8:13 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

A simple tale of a simple family in search of a simple life. Check out our alpacas. Sunday, April 25, 2010. Fiber-The reason we are in the business? I have been inspired by some of the other alpaca blogs and websites I have been visiting. The picture below is felted soap from Seldom Scene Farm. It is like a built in loofa. I am also coveting her llama trekking business and farm store. Check out the blog to find out more. Has a neat structure. Is it viable? I'm not sure, but the concept is cool. I am than...
