Halter training day
Wednesday, April 6, 2016 The weather was nice enough yesterday (though windy and cool) that we could finally get some halter work done with the “babies” from last year. Their owners came out and worked with them and out of all 10 babies we had … Continued
Charlotte and the chickens round 2

Nice neighbors

A snow-lovin’ alpaca
Wednesday, March 30, 2016 One more snowy day and we should get back to spring like weather again. But I know one alpaca here who couldn’t be happier about the weather. If you recall, our herdsire SilverLake spent the winter in California, and came back to Utah about … Continued
