[AlpacaTalk] Re: Any non-US breeders on this site?
Hi Chuck. We are Debbie and Paul LeBlanc from Cochrane, Alberta,
Canada. We have been raising huacaya alpacas for 10 years (as of
2008). We found it to be a big learning curve when we first got our
alpacas, and we are still learning something new on a regular basis.
The yahoo sites are excellent places to find out all sorts of
information and to post questions and then to take that information
back and apply it to our own situation.
My son and I are off to Mexico in the morning, and I would happily
visit an alpaca ranch in the area, but I don't think there are any
close by. We are going to Puerto Penasco (Rocky Point). We fly
through Denver tomorrow to Phoenix and then drive approximately 4
hours to Penasco. If any one knows of a farm in the Penasco area
please let me know! I'm hoping to check my e-mail periodically.
Happy New Year everyone!
