Here's to the arrival of Spring!




We had a rough winter with record snowfalls as you can see in this picture. Here's to welcoming spring finally! We've had a busy few months on the farm and have a few bits of exciting news to share.

Rayo has now been weaned and is doing great with his new buddies, Mokka and Cosner. He's learning his place in his new herd, and is already starting to make his presence felt. We decided not to show him this season, as he had just been weaned and we didn't want to stress him. We also decided to wait until we have more than one alpaca to show.

We did enter photos in the Alpacapalooza photo contest, and managed to win two ribbons! We took a third in the humor category for the this photo of Rayo trying to share his leaf with Creme Brulee and won best marketing photo for the photo of Carlton watching the girls run past him, kicking up their heels.

In celebration of the photo contest ribbons, we now have some great products for sale at Zazzle.com with these photos and more! Please check out our store at http://www.zazzle.com/shadoalpacas or at the alpaca gifts link to the left.

We are also now on Facebook! Please join us and become a fan.
