Meet Summer- The alpaca

Meet Summer
With summer on the horizon, it seems appropriate to introduce you to Summer — our alpaca.​

She joined our herd in May 2021, newly pregnant with her (and our) first cria, Baxter.

I first met Summer in August 2019  — when she was a cria herself — at my friend, Jack’s little farm.  I never expected back then that she would become a member of our herd.

Summer is our most petite alpaca.  Most of our herd stand over four feet tall, and they clearly tower over her.

While she may be small in size, she makes up for it with her personality and by being one of our largest fleece producers (I think it’s her super power).​

She grows a very dense, crimpy coat that insulates her every winter and keeps her warm so well that we often see her camped out in the snow or rain to help regulate her comfort.

When spun into yarn, her fleece transforms into a lovely champagne color with a hint of pink.

Summer is friendly, easy going, and enjoys being handfed treats. She often walks up to us looking for a handout while we’re doing chores.  It’s because of her quiet and cute approach that makes us stop what we’re doing to give her a few treats. I think this is why it takes so long to finish chores sometimes. 😄

She’s also very playful with her friends. She loves to run and pronk around the pasture with them.  ​
