Re: [AlpacaTalk] New to group - fill my brain!
I'll introduce myself as well.
We are new to alpacas, and currently own 2 that we are having agisted
until we purchase our new property. We should be moving to our new
property at the end of June or first part of July.
We are in the Southern Willamette Valley in Oregon, and look forward to
getting involved with EVAA and other organizations. (even contemplated
entering fleece in the Alpaca Marketplace and Fleece Show in Eugene just
for fun this summer, but we only have a few days to make that decision.
:) )
Looking forward to learning from everybody.
