Vana had her Smokin Gun baby boy just this past week. I saw the “herd huddle” on the Llamacam, signaling a new baby, and raced home from work to find he was already up, dry and walking. He has Vana’s signature hooked ears and long legs, and is calm and handleable like our Gun babies have been. He is white with a vivid face mask, and we are busy trying to name him. He gained two pounds the first two days and running around the pasture, waiting on the promised playmate due from Tia any day!
Monthly Archives: May 2005
We’ve had a busy show season so far, with shows in Oklahoma, Illinois, Michigan and Indiana. We will finish off with shows in Ohio, and then pack it in for the summer. Our show string has done quite well in very intense competition! Michele finished her ALSA ROM, although we may continue using her as a PR llama until next year before breeding her. Luci Lui, Kailua Cruz, Sand Pebble Cruz, Pipe Dream, Shalom Cruz and Highlander have all placed very well and earned many ALSA points, qualifing for this year’s Regional show. Luci Lui, Sand Pebble Cruz and Pipe Dream also placed in the ribbons at the Millennium Magic Futurity, a venue that had both suri and silky llamas showing in the same classes. With the level of competition at that futurity, we were very proud of our babies!
Morrel Mushrooms Found on Our Farm
Mushroom hunting season here in central Indiana has come and gone, and we seem to find fewer and fewer of the tasty morrels with each passing year. We did find one nice patch, enough for appetizers one evening. And no, I cannot disclose the location of this prime spot!
