Cecilia will be joining us again this year on Saturday February 28th. We love the Alpaca Extravaganza, our favorite show; alpacas, fiber demonstrations, the most experienced breeders, essential winter gear and Cecilia twisting up a storm. You might want to challenge her. I'm just betting she can do anything you ask for, even a bow & arrow that works 🥳. Hope you can join us🦙🌸🦙:))).

Thank you to everyone who visited our booth last weekend for the Christmas Market at Archer. So many friends stopped by and we had many repeat customers, also now friends. So much fun to share all things alpaca. Thank you for your support! We wish you all a very Special and Joyous Holiday Season 🎅🤶🎄☃️🛷:)!

We intend to be here this weekend. It is, without a doubt, time for some alpaca to keep us warm 🥶☃️❄️🧤🧣🧦🧊. Hope to see your smiling faces 😃. The Archer Event Center is just east of Cheyenne.

We had some very special guests this weekend. Archie and his family. Archie listened so well to us as he held perfectly still for our skittish alpacas so they would become brave enough to come close to him. It was a challenge in patience and trust. And he rose to the occasion. He got a kick out of our Homer, the pot belly too. Then, Archie couldn't resist covering himself in alpaca mash to make him even more desirable to the alpacas. It worked like a charm. I suspect he may grow up to be an animal whisperer. What an absolutely delightful time we had with everyone.

This family is special as we have memories that go back further than anyone other than my own family. Patty Mercer is a childhood friend without match. Our family moved around almost yearly until I hit 4th grade. The longest spell was in Great Falls, MT. We lived in the same neighborhood, ran and rode the bus to school, went on a gazillion field trips, scared each other half to death with ghost stories and spent our formative years together. In our gallivanting I once fell on the RR tracks and a rock lodged in my leg. Patty carried me all the way home to my parents and a doctors visit. There is no truer friend than this and doesn't she still look as healthy and strong as she was 56 plus years ago. Thank you my dear friend 💞🫂🌈.

We made it through shearing, in between days with buckets of rain falling. Our head shearer was Triston this year. He was the last crew out and we got that fleece off dry except for a small number at the very end. Baby girls had their first shearing. One is cushed right next to her Mom while she's getting shorn.

Now, it is quite hot so very relieved the alpacas are comfortable. They can't take those fur coats off so shearing is literally life saving in some cases, especially for lowlanders with humidity.

Introducing Homer, the pot bellied pig. Homer sauntered into our valley last August wagging his tail at our alpacas while they were alarming. None of us knew what we were looking at and no one has experience with any kind of pig. It took us two months to figure out what s*x he was, lol. Homer has been forgiving. The alpacas not so much. They went 🦍💩, an alien creature was in their midst. This miracle survived the wilds of Buford on his own since at least May, having been dumped by unkind souls. We are honored he chose us. He loves his meals and naps. We love his thankful grunts and oinks but not any screams. It is really, really easy to scare a pig 🙀. We are thrilled we got him through winter (he's gained weight too) and as you can tell he's thrilled with this spring day. Another bonus is we no longer have food waste and the people at King Soopers have a shelf with reduced produce, hallelujah 😋😋😋. So as my Mother said, 'Well you now have a 🐽.'

This show looks like a whole lot of fun for everyone with a fishing pond, climbing wall, wood carving and much more. FREE too. It's our first time at a Sportsman's Expo. I've seen artists, jewelry, panning for gold, lots of yummies and trailers plus boats galore. And I barely got to look around. We are happy to be here with our warm, soft necessary alpaca gear. Can't wait for the revelry to begin. Come visit 🦙🌸🦙.

Awe, so much fun to be had at the Alpaca Extravaganza:)! Charlie returned wearing the camouflage hat he bought from us last year. A lover of everything frog related stopped by and we had one in needle felted alpaca 🦙. And this wasn't just any old frog but a red eyed tree frog 🐸. Cecilia kept us smiling by doing her balloon magic which we love her for. And the young ones came out with their families. Thank you everyone for making Saturday glorious. One more day of fun today until 4 pm 🌸🦙💞.
