I've no experience with this farm and I only wish to comment on the aspects of Mike's disease, which I DO HAVE a LOT of experience with. People afflicted with BiPolar can and do appear "normal" both on and off the medications. The effectiveness of a…

I looked Cole up on facebook and sent him a message of support. I asked him to let me know how I could help him out.
Here is another article I got in my Google Alert report. The alpaca was a male named Masterpiece, cute little fawn dude. Owners are Rebecca Hardin and Jeff Pergram of Madison Twp.

We are brand new breeders and it's all MaryAnn's fault!!! Well, not exactly :)
We lived in Palm Bay and moved to Kentucky in May 2008. We did a bit of research and then saw an article in the local paper about MaryAnn's farm. So I zipped off an email and asked if I could stop by for a visit. That was in Jan 2007. Then a visit to FABA that year and we were hooked. In March 2007 we attended the Kentcuky Classic and visited many farms before finding our first two females who arrived from Canada at Alpaca's of Cedar Ridge. Our first cria, Americano's Dreamweaver has done well in the ring this year with 3 ribbons. Our second cria, Esplendido's Presidente, just arrived on May 10, 2008 and shows just as much promise. I'm thinking PINK for my next one that is due in October 2008!
Update: I'm still thinking PINK for the next cria due in May. Our newest little guy was born on 9/30/08.

What I learned on Shearing Day
Yesterday was shearing day at my agisting farm. I arrived at 8:00AM Central Time... the shearers showed up shortly after that.... and began their preparations. By 8:30 we were in the barn with the first animal down on the ropes. With 47 Alpacas and one VERY hairy Pyr we started what was a fast furious shearing day with fleece flying, shears buzzing and Alpacas screaming !!! One shearer with One helper, 5 able bodied farm hands (two newbies) , 1 slightly disabled farm hand (shoulder surgery) work… Continue

What I learned at the show ......
I just returned from the Indiana Invitational in Ft. Wayne. This having been my first really large show I learned lots of valuable information. Some people with more show experience may see these things as common and expected at shows, but for me... it was a lesson learned and we all need to learn something every day to keep those brain juices flowing !!!
Indiana is FLAT !!! Just like most of Florida. From the time I entered the state from Kentucky it was pretty much flat farm land all the way… Continue

NOOOOO But one of their females delivered another male from the same sire as mine on Saturday during Farm Day !!!... she was right on her due date.
