Well the time has come to retire. Larry and I are retiring and letting Lori and Chris Griffin take the reins. We still have a couple animals for breeding stock that are for sale. The rest are geriatric like we are.
Working with our alpacas has been a satisfying and relaxing project. We have learned the nuances of keeping our alpacas healthy and active. As we are now both retired, we have managed to downsize our herd. We have some older females that we haven't used in our breeding program for a while and are now our geriatric ladies who are living out their lives with us. We do still have a few breeding females on the place so we still have a couple of babies each year.
Our daughter, Lori and her husband Chris, own all will be moving to the farm in the future.
The interest in alpacas has started to come back so they will continue with a regular breeding program . It is nice to have visitors who may be looking to raise alpacas either for pleasure or a business. If you are in our neighborhood, please stop bye. We welcome visitors and our alpacas are always ready to say "Hi". Last summer was really fun. We had had visitors from Finland, Saipan, Michigan, Connecticut, California, Florida, Seattle and Shelton(a summer school- 2 times). The school came twice because the first time our babies hadn't arrived so them came back after the crias were born. This year we've had a lot of visitors again and have a couple crias for viewing.

Oscar was born 7/26/22 and is a lovable little guy. He will be going to an alpaca show (CABA) the middle of April. His momma is Comet's Halley on our farm. We actually took him to a "Live Nativity" in our area around Christmas and he really had fun. We couldn't take his Mom as she is black and wouldn't have been easy to see so we took his Gramma (Maxy). They were perfect ! She stood guard and he greeted everyone. We haven't had many like him before but when they come they are really fun. Come meet him!!! Update: Oscar went to a new home and will be making babies for them. I can hardly wait to see what he puts on the ground.
