A whole new event on this years alpaca calendar is the AFCNA (Alpaca Fibre Cooperative of North America) Fleece Show..which is scheduled for August 5th to 6th in Las Vegas.

As I say its a new event but it looks like it will be very popular to me. There are a selection of seminars to attend and each entrant will receive verbal comments on their alpaca fleece which is a very welcome addition.
Meanwhile back at the ranch we decided to separate the two little boys Mr Bo Jangles and Mr Tambourine Man from their mothers and start the weaning process. Its always best if you can do this so they don't have any sight or sound from each other. But on small farms this isn't always possible so while we can separate them by quite a distance the layout of the farm means that they can still call to each other.
