Jack had
a pretty busy spring with shows in Del Mar, Monterey, Redmond & Phoenix.
He’s getting ready to head for “ALPACAMANIA” up in Oregon
early October & then on to Santa Ynez Valley “Alpacafest
West” later in October. Then will be staying home for awhile
– we hope.
We’ve
had a great year for ribbons:

We’ve
had a great year with “PpA ESPRESSO”
our black herdsire producing 3 beautiful females & 2 males –
“PpA ZEUS & “PpA CHASE” so far in 2003
That’s 15 or more females & 3 males he’s sired over
the past couple of years (keep it up ESPRESSO!) |
Zeus

| Our
ACCOYO “PAYDAY” son of the recently
deceased CALIGULA produced some of the densest & crimpiest
cria we’ve ever had including gorgeous fawn female “Nienta”,
white “PANDORA” GORGEOUS & 2 beautiful
future herd sires “INTREPID”-(medium fawn) & “TSUNAMI”
(white) with a number of cria due in the next month or so. |

“MILES”
son of the famous suri stud PARDNER once again came through with
fabulous cria – female “AURORA” white and potential
herd sires “RASTI” fawn & “JACKSON”
fawn. He still has several cria that haven’t arrived
for this year. |

SPECIAL
THANK YOU to Cathy & Alan Nielson (Valley of the Moon
Alpacas) for “Atlanta” gorgeous white female produced
by “Atlas” & PpMito’s “Lisbeth”.
Also special thanks to Andrea Applegate’s stud BLACK KNIGHT
for a fabulous medium fawn suri female “Cappucino”–
another little girl you’ll see in the winner’s circle
produced by our dam “Serendipity”. |

Capuccino |
Two of our guys have departed for the Sequoia Park Zoo. One of MILES’
cuties “ROCKY” a neat fawn suri male and one of
our accoyo PAYDAY’s finest “JACKPOT” a white huacaya with
fawn face - both stud quality. They’re now living in a
$5,000,000.00 (that’s FIVE MILLION DOLLARS) home and the gravel for
their yard was $40,000 (special stuff hauled in from southern California
to keep their little feet clean & healthy). They are part of the
educational program so the public can watch and learn about them but cannot
touch or disturb them – some little critters have all the luck!

Dewey & Lambada |
Also
3 new ducks arrived recently – the foxes took care of two
of them the first night (we live right on the Humboldt Bay Wild
Life) so DEWEY (the remaining duck) moved in with the alpacas &
seems to be doing just fine!
OOPS!
Dewey is a girl:
