July 30, 2010 Summer !

In looking at my blog, which I haven't done in a very long time, I realized that my last posting was in the winter. Somehow I missed spring, and now it is mid-summer and the weather has been an unkind now as it was in the winter. The hottest June ever recorded, and the most humid, it has carried into July. This type of weather is very hard on heavy fleeced alpacas, and we have had our share of issues with heat stress. Yet despite these challenges, we have had a healthy crop of spring/summer crias that are all thriving and best of all, are all female! I will post a few photos for your enjoyment.
