Cross Roads Sale

After 8 years in the alpaca business, I have decided to leave the industry and concentrate on another career that does not leave much time to work full time with the alpacas. I will be dispersing the whole herd (14). I am not in a "liquidation" mode, but the prices will be attractive.
Please contact me for any additional information and a price list. The website will be updated soon as well.

In between snowstorms we visited an outdoor holiday market in Boyne City. Santa Claus and Old Man Winter stopped by to visit. They loved the alpacas, but were disappointed to learn that they do not fly.

Fall Pasture

The "Girls" and the juveniles are out enjoying their new pasture on a sunny day in the fall. Alpacas love moving into a new pasture. Even the adults may "prong" a few times when they think no one is looking! I started working on this new addition in the spring to give me the flexibility to take care of the main pastures.

2010 Cria Update

With fall around the corner, you begin to wonder where the summer went and really start to notice how big the crias are getting. Col Du Tourmalet (on the left) was the born in June and is doing well. Looks like he is going to stay bay black. He will be easy to find in the snow!

Stormy Blues (on the right) has the "wow" factor, and I look forward to his show performance. Half interest has already been aquired by Maplewood Farm.

Malu is growing in leaps and bounds - literally. She is usually trying to coax the other crias into chasing her around the pasture, and especially enjoys leaping over her grandmother, Tendu, if she is cushed and resting.

And over the Labor Day weekend, the last cria, Tenaj, arrived and was welcomed by the herd. She is a very feminine rose grey female.

Maggie Mae's Legacy

Guess I have been in the business long enough now to appreciate and be in that special moment. Maggie Mae (on the left) delivered an exceptional gift Sunday morning. Maggie's Dam, Malu, came into the USA during the early 1990 Peruvian imports. Malu was laid to rest last year after living a long and productive life at Maplewood Farm. I was fortunate to acquire Maggie, a Dracula granddaughter, in 2005. To date she has been my best producer, and is responsible for my "Snow" line. Her latest cria is a very healthy girl (20#s wow) sired by my first born alpaca, Independance. "Indy" was born on the 4th of July back in 2002, and has sired a handful of crias. Independance died June of this year (necropsy identified a ruptured spleen)..so now I think you are getting the picture why this little girl is special. Her name was easy to come up with. Indy's Malu.
