We lost Swirl yesterday from complications of old age - R.I.P.

POAA Chocolate Swirl was one of the best - a friend to everyone, a leader, a trainer of young boys, a damn good herdsire, and always ease to care for. I'm going to miss him!

Exciting news - Patti will be featured by the Alpaca Registry at the AOBA National Conference and Show! She made the Top 5 list of EPD (estimated progeny difference) traits for her awesome fleece curvature. It will be on display at the ARI booth all week long.

Dom Savone is back home for good (formerly co-owned with Patti Jennings of WillowBend). It'll be nice to have another full Peruvian stud here all the time. Even at 12 years old, he's still got rock solid conformation, dense bone, micron in the low 20s and above-agerage density.

Good show at GMAF. All but one ended up in the ribbons. In his first show, our nearly 4-year-old male Buffalo Creed took second in the adult true black class, beating his pasture-mate Intimidator. I was shocked, but pleased!
