A good day trip!

Well it seems that overall the family enjoyed our trip to Alpacafest last weekend. We had a long and full day related to all things alpaca. I was very happy to see a couple new faces in the judging pens on the male side. The shows was running behind and this caused us to miss a specific alpaca we were keeping our eye on.

We found some new things to price and try out. I know my wife got some new ideas on felting things that I'm sure she will be trying out at some point.

If you haven't noticed yet the web site is up and running though it is lacking some details still. Anyway, please stop over, take a stroll and I'd love to hear your feedback.

Time to prepare for a trip!

We are going to be packing up the family and heading out Saturday morning to attend Alpacafest in Columbus Ohio this Saturday. We are looking forward to the weekend and hope that everything turns out the way we have been planning.

We are looking forward to getting to learn some things, watch some great competition as well as possibly becoming co-owners of a boy that will be in the show this weekend. Hopefully more on that come Sunday or Monday.

A quick note that I think might help others out that are new or are thinking of coming in to the alpaca lifestyle. As I've read several places, you can never have to many gates. I agree for sure and think so more and more every day. Though I would keep minimal number of gates that are on the outside fence. Also, making internal fencing to split up pens, even smaller ones, can be a huge help when dealing with keeping grass alive, controlling access and catching alpacas when needed.
