Alpaca birthdays go crazy in June for the logical reason that we want births in the pleasant weather and we can engineer (sort of) when they happen. We do have one July birthday, as well. But then, no birthdays in August. For that reason, we celebrate our June and July birthdays all summer!

So please wish a big June & July Happy Birthday to:

• T for Texas on June 26th
• CJ on June 22nd
• Mr. Xcitement on June 23rd
• Novella on June 17th
• Tiny Bubbles on June 18th
• Nancy Spain on July 13th
• Lucy Brown on June 13th
• Louisville Lou on June 19th
• Beautiful Dreamer on June 16th
• and Happy Boy on June 16th!

This photo shows baby T for Texas shortly after she was born. Wish all of the June & July babies a happy birthday the next time you visit!

The next time you visit, congratulate SPF Harrigan, SPF Ines, SPF Happy Boy, The Wild Rover of SPF, SPF Weapon of Choice, and SPF Sweet Marie for their ribbons at the AOA National Fleece Show Spin-off! We are especially pleased with Harrigan and Ines, who took home first place ribbons, and Happy, Rover, and Weapon, who took home second place ribbons!

Everyone received high praise for the soft handle of their fleece and the quality of the resulting handspun yarn. It is gratifying to see our breeding program get some great feedback for our fiber production!

Here's Happy Boy looking at the girls! Come on out to congratulate the winners and see how macho he has become!
