Officially Ours

We just did it.  We are officially alpaca farmers, in the most limited sense of the term.  This last Sunday we signed papers and gave our first check to SuperSuris to lease our girl you see on the left, Sweet 16.  She truly lives up to her name as she's sweet and lovey.  On top of that she's a truly great mother and has terrific fiber qualities and body shape.  She's currently pregnant and will deliver towards the end of August next year.  That baby will be ours free and clear and we have every intention to purchase Sweet 16 at the end of the lease.

We are now officially in the business.  We have our first dam, soon to have our first baby.  The search for the right property continues, as does the search for a farm truck to replace my commuter-mobile.  More posts as things develop.
