Summertime fun!
Marnie at 3 weeks!
It is the last day of July already and as always we wonder where the summer is flying off to! It will be fall before we know it. So far only one of our 8 cria has arrived but she is a beauty. Finally the first offspring from our herdsire NeverSummer's Manchester. She is all we hoped for and is quite the little girl. Strong and big, showing awesome fleece. Starting life at a wonderful 19.4# she grew to 30# in 3 weeks. But oh, she wants a playmate so badly! Meet PJA Manchester's Marnie!
Yes, we are on cria watch. At this writing, we have 2 overdue females and another due mid August. And they are all just taking their dear sweet time! Big Bellies abound at Pleasant Journey Alpacas!
Summer activities at Pleasant Journey Alpacas have included some wonderful ranch tours and awesome visitors. People from all across the country visit the Durango, CO area and they come visit the ranch and meet the alpacas. Currently we are gearing up to have a vendor booth at the LaPlata County Fair in Durango. Should be a fun 5 days and hopefully we will reach out to many people including some who want to get into the alpaca business!
Enjoy the rest of the summer and keep an eye on our blogs and pages for more news from Pleasant Journey Alpacas!
