 Fourth Annual Open Barn Days a big success!
The weather gods smiled on us and we had two very pleasant fall days to enjoy the many visitors who came to the ranch this year. Our "yarns with faces", where each skein is identifed with the face of the animal it came from, were very popular and some are sold out til next year. We love to show off our alpacas and the wonderful things we make from their fiber. Next year our Fifth Annual Open Barn Days plans are already in motion - mark Sept 26- 27, 2009 on your calendar!

Management tip of the month To keep your pastures smelling fresh and to minimize puddling, try wood pellets designed for wood stoves. They do look a lot like the alpaca pellets that we feed our herd, but one sniff and both alpacas and people know the difference! At this time of year you can find them in places like Home Depot and Lowe's. We use them on the barn floor all winter to keep the "potty zones " from spreading. The fresh wood smell is better than the alternative and they even make a nice addition to the compost pile.
