The Goat Advisory Board has officially convened, and the verdict is in: Humans, we love you, but next time please use *all* your brain cells when setting up the tent. While we appreciate the beachfront property vibes in the middle of the parking lot, we didn't exactly pack our swimsuits. Huge shoutout to this single bale of hay for keeping our hooves dry.

Ever wondered what an alpaca looks like under all that amazing fleece? Kuezco just got his annual haircut, and he's almost unrecognizable!

Alpacas don't shed naturally. Without human help to shear them every spring, they would overheat in the summer.

Their fleece is incredibly soft, water-resistant, hypoallergenic, and warmer than sheep’s wool. Kuezco’s "haircut" will be spun into amazing, sustainable yarn!

The shearing process can be done on a shearing table or soft mats on the ground. We've tried both and prefer the ground, it may be harder on our backs but it's less stressful for the animal.

The sky put on a massive light show yesterday, and the general consensus from the herd was just a collective sigh of annoyance.

​Is there any better sound than heavy rain drumming against a metal barn roof? (Pure bliss.)

​Of course, the panic set in when we realized the baby goats, who currently have free reign of the smallest pasture, were out in the open. We dashed down in the downpour to herd them inside, only to find that the moms already had everything under control. Every single kid was tucked away, dry, and looking at us like we were the crazy ones.


​This rain is exactly what the doctor ordered for our hay fields. Because we harvest all our own hay, getting enough moisture right now is critical to ensuring the hay grows to an acceptable length. A good soaking now means a bountiful harvest later, which ensures these spoiled goats and alpacas have plenty of full bellies all winter long!

The alpacas are scheduled for their haircuts on Saturday. Sunday's tours will have them sporting new hairdos.

Do alpacas like water?

Yes! They'll often soak as a way to cool off during hot summer days.

Xena is popping her head out to make an announcement.

Her "aunt" Little Miss had triplets this morning. Link, Malon and Zelda.

Fun fact: Xena was also a triplet. She was the runt and required bottle feeding because she couldn't compete with her siblings for food. We try to avoid bottle feeding but when necessary we will supplement, however we try to keep babies with siblings or other goats their age to ensure they learn proper socialization.

We're booked for a private event next weekend. Therefore, only one more weekend of tours the first weekend of June before our fluffy field marshmallows become Q-tips.

Did you know......It can’t be too wet, or their dense fiber holds moisture like a sponge, making it impossible to clip. It can't be too hot, because if they start sweating, their fleece gets sticky and the shears won't glide through. But it also can't be too cold, because losing that thick blanket leaves them shivering if a sudden chill hits!

To beat the rain, our alpacas are locked up in the barn for 48 hours before shearing to ensure a nice dry fleece.
