We are excited to be breeding either Jaci or Isis to 10x color champion/reserve champion Rumm Runner with bloodlines from Quetzal, Timoteo and MFI Peruvian Donnovan! We will also be breeding our Prince of Troy for the first time!
Mar 6-7, 2010 Southern Select Alpaca Show – Shelbyville, TN
Our 9th Annual alpaca show sponsored by the SeAA. Very excited to show our new alpacas in halter and fleece!
Cria season 2010
Cria season has already started with a healthy boy from Athena and Accoyo Pulitzer on Jan 9th! This is her first baby and a new bloodline for us with Pulitzer, who is a Caligula son!! This new boy is Full Peruvian and 7/8 Accoyo - not a bad way to start the year! Cria season will run through May with babies due from Trinity (Jetson), Jaci (Lethal Weapon), Isis (Jetson), Michar (Lethal Weapon), Brisa (Gathering Storm), Mystic (Legend) and Lady Charlotte (Barbossa). We are expecting 7 more babies including ones from our own herd sires - Legend and Barbossa (his first!). Keeping our fingers crossed!!
Sept 2009: National Farm Days
We celebrated National Farm Days this year by splitting the weekend. On Saturday, about 15 local farms had stalls at the Wilson Co Fairgrounds. We had a very successful weekend with animals, fleece and products available for the public to see. On Sunday, we each had open hours at our individual farms.
Mar-June 2009 – This year’s babies were born. We ended the season with 2 boys (Dante and Chaos) and 3 girls (Tyet, Tilloo and Skylar). Unfortunately, we did lose a baby girl this year – Abaco will be missed. She was a beautiful fawn girl. We added a new bloodline to our herd with Tyet, sired by STF Jetson – a Royal Fawn grandson and 8-time black color champion!
April 2009: Shearing time!
Annual shearing time! Everyone is shorn once a year. We keep some fleece to show through the year and have the rest processed into yarn that is sold on our site.
April 2009: Palmetto Alpaca Classic in SC
We had a GREAT showing at PAC. We won 5 halter ribbons (of 5 entries), including 3 2nd places for Justice, Prince of Troy and Barbossa! In fact, it was side-by-side for Justice with first place (who won the color champion!) and it was again side-by-side with Justice and the alpaca that took reserve color champion! All 8 fleeces took ribbons including 2 1st place ribbons for Isis and Athena!
March 2009: Southern Select Show in Shelbyville, IN
Our largest show in the SE with over 500 alpacas! We took 8 alpacas and won 5 ribbons, took 8 fleeces and got 8 ribbons! A GREAT success and a GREAT time! Barbossa got a 1st in fleece and a 2nd in halter - his halter show was the first time I've been in the championship ring! Very thrilling!
SEPT 2008: We had a wonderfully successful 2nd Annual National Alpaca Farm Days the last weekend in Sept. Expecting about 50 people like last year, I was overwhelmingly happy with 180 visitors!!!
AUGUST 2008: Jacki was elected onto the SeAA Board of Directors.
SPRING 2008: We experienced the joy of 5 new bundles of fleece! We were blessed with Danica, Fury, Justice, Halo and Alyssa. I finally got my little gray girl!!!
NOV 2007: Saracen’s PRINCE OF TROY was born. Our first gray baby and Saracen's first son (aptly appointed a Prince!). Troy was named after Prince Hector of Troy. A Trojan hero until his death in the clash of the Spartans and Trojans (remember the Trojan horse?) during the Trojan War. Our Troy has amazing fleece and is a bundle of energy. Check out his page!
