Looking for snow worms
Hi
I am Buffy, an Orpington chicken, bringing you farm news. We are so sick of snow and freezing temps. This past weekend was a life saver. Those chill factors reduced our egg laying and that white stuff was terrible to walk on.
Well the Carolina Alpaca Celebration was last weekend in Concord, NC. Our farm had 3 entries in the spin off and each one took a second place ribbon. Seven, our herdsire to be, lost first place by one half of a point. What is really nice is that those 3 entries represented 3 generations of alpaca here. Seven’s sire is the farm’s resident herdsire, Red Cloud, and his mother is Cheyenne, one of our original Peruvian girls. There are 20 points of judging in a spin off and the 3 entries were very consistent in quality of fiber.
The show was seriously impacted by winter weather in the southeast and many farms could not make the trip. Erica went with our farm. She is our student. She is a high school sophomore working on her senior project, alpaca farming. She is a very hard worker and a lovely young woman. Our farm really enjoys having her around. We chicks seriously wonder why she is not studying us instead of the alpacas. We are a lot more interesting and fun. Incidentally, have any of you wondered why there are no alpaca entries on this site. Well, I think I can explain that. I have a theory I will share with you in a future update. Bye for now and try to let your heart rest.
