[AlpacaTalk] introduction
I am brand new to this group. I have owned two suri male alpacas that were rescue boy. One is black and one is white. ANd, I just adopted a third white suri boy. They have been living on an alpaca farm that belongs to a friend. I also raise Border Leicester sheep and angora rabbits, all for fiber, as I am a handspinner and weaver and I have a fiber arts business, selling my products. The rabbits are at my home, and the sheep are at another friend's farm. But, last month I was able to arrange to lease land right behind my house, instead of traveling 25 min to get to either the sheep or alpacas. So, I have fencing going up next week, the run in shed is on sight and I hope to have the animals here in about two weeks! I am more than excited! This is a dream come true. I also have working border collies, who will finally be able to work with me, with the sheep every day. Although the sheep and alpacas will be in the same field, I have a 20 x 20 "catch pen" that the alpacas will be lured into with feed while the dogs are in the field. I have lots of questions that I will be asking over the next few weeks I am sure!
