Spring on an Alpaca Farm means......Show and shearing season is here. Five of our crias that were born last summer and one of our juvenile girls born the year before will be entered in the Great Midwest Alpaca Festival at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison. Show dates are April 27-29. If you have never been to an alpaca show, this event will be well worth the short drive to Madison. This is the 10th anniversary of this show. In addition to the alpacas being judged, there will be demonstrations by fiber artists, spinners and weavers. Vendors will have a large selection of products for your shopping pleasure. Check out the GMAF website- www.thegmaf.com. We are also going to be shearing our herd on May 27th. We have 31 alpacas to shear. Come out for a visit and see the process or join right in and lend a hand. We start bright and early at 8am. Throughout May and the beginning of June, Becky will be traveling to other alpaca farms to help them with collecting and sorting their fiber to maximaize the profits they can make from their alpacas' fleece. Tom will be attending a shearing school to refine his shearing skills and to get the most usable fleece from each animal. Karly will be traveling to Peru on a 3 week study abroad trip through UW-Whitewater. We are also welcoming 4 new members of our farm family. Three more Runner ducklings and a Magpie duckling.
