Time Passes When You're Having Fun!

Unbelievable! There is no way it can be the end of May already. It's been over a month since my last post - which is most unlike me - but I kept feeling like I had just posted an update.

We are going to post some update pictures shortly. We ended up with over two dozen babies altogether, although we are STILL waiting for Doris the Dorset to have hers. We are so proud of this crop of babies. They are tall and square and growing like weeds. Annie, the first one, is now just 2 months old and is as big as a lamb twice her age!

We are getting ready for the Eat!Vancouver Food & Cooking Festival - on from June 1-3, so look for us there! We are very excited about participating in this trade show again - our second time. This year we are focusing exclusively on our llama products and will have llama jerky, llama pepperoni and llama garlic coil available for samples and sale.

Speaking of Llama we had our first baby llama this year, a boy, named Five-O (he was "F" in the naming schedule). The picture is of Five-O when he was about a week old. His mom is standing behind him. She's been sheared now so she doesn't look quite as big.

We have some hens sitting on a couple nests - we will see if we can hatch out our own babies this year. In the meantime, we have ordered some chicks that will be here the end of June.

Fencing is coming along, new chicken coop in the works and it's almost time to breed the llamas. Hope to see you in Vancouver!!
