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:

• Lucy Brown, on June 13th
• Beautiful Dreamer, on June 16th
• Happy Boy, also on June 16th
• Novella, on June 17th
• Tiny Bubbles, on June 18th
• CJ, on June 22nd
• and Nancy Spain, on July 13th!

This photo shows Tiny Bubbles when she was no longer tiny. 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!
