Say hello to our newest addition, Becca! Our good friends at Sleeping Monk Farm are retiring and selling their herd. We learned a lot from owners Sue and Bob about alpaca genetics over the years and their 27 years of breeding for "fineness of fiber". So, when Sue approached us about acquiring Becca, it didn't take long for us to decide to bring her home knowing she will contribute nicely to our program of producing high quality fleece. It just so happens that she is Pepper's cousin, which was the "icing on the cake," and we are excited to welcome her into our herd. Becca is now the youngest member of our herd. She's two months younger than Indie, who turned two in July, and Rocky will turn two on September 4. Becca will turn two on September 11 this year. Now that she's here on the farm, we're just starting to get to know each other -- so we don't know her full personality, just yet. But she is already showing signs of a sweet, curious, and gentle temperament - and she is eating from our hands already, which she hasn't done previously, according to Sue. We're excited to see her blossom. Since she's just arrived, she's exploring her new home, learning our daily routine, getting to know new herd mates, and watching the barn cats and chickens with great curiosity. In the meantime, please enjoy the below video of her arrival on the farm There will be updates on her progress on YouTube, so be sure to subscribe to our channel to keep tabs on her.
Our farm tour season will be winding down at the end of September, and we still have a few openings available. If you're local, we'd love to introduce you to Becca.
