Well, this is going to be our farms first nationals and we have high expectations. Considering our latest additions and positioning we are hopeful to have at least a couple placements. For a new farm with a low budget at this big of show, we'll be happy with that.
A huge thanks to my wife who almost did an entire show fleece top to bottom, front to back by herself part of Saturday, to get it ready for this upcoming weekend.
A big thanks to Kevin and Lisa Crick who sheared some of our boys a couple weeks ago. They look great and seem much happier than when they were giant bundles of fleece.
Also, my thanks to 4k who is still helping us learn how to prepare and show our first suri. We are a bit lost on the whats and hows still.
Lastly I wanted to post what a great help the kids have been in keeping the animals areas clean, food and water filled and working with the animals on occassion to prepare them for the upcoming show. There is always more than could be done and more time needed but we all only have so much time in a day.
So, this will be our last post for sure until after nationals. I would like to wish anyone reading this going, best of luck. Wish a little too as we are likely to need it.
Look us up on Thursday helping at fleece check in and possibly doing other things once we've settled our boys in.

Shadyside Farm History
Shadyside Farm is located in north eastern Indiana at the south end of Dekalb County. The original farm was founded in approximately 1890. The farm is still active today and is used for the growing crops and livestock. In the past the livestock has included cattle, pigs and chickens. As of today the farm will support both cattle and alpacas. This blog is specifically being created for the sole purpose of documenting the addition of the alpacas to our farm.
