Re: [AlpacaTalk] Re: Let them eat cake.Last response by Libby
Heehee. Well, Libby, believe it or not, I have respect for you and your
breeding program. And I really don't think I have singled you or your
farm out in my rants (this time, anyway).
We must remember things differently, because when we (my family)
started with alpacas in 97/98, your farm was already a very big hitter
in the shows and of course we couldn't fail to notice your ads, etc.
I'll grant you a learning curve and maybe you did make mistakes, but I
think you had it pretty well down by the time we got into the biz! And
come on, now, I just took a moment to look at the 2001 Portland
Nationals, and your farm did quite well there!
Anyway, thanks for your posts. I stand by my word to NEVER kick anyone
out of here just for disagreeing with me! I won't even get upset with
someone for proving me wrong! Well, I don't like to be wrong, so I like
to know so that I can correct myself. :)
Everyone, have a great evening and thanks for a lively conversation!
Best wishes to everyone!
Heather
