This year, we took only four alpacas – 2 boys and 2 girls, one yearling and juvenile each. For the boys, we showed Atmos & Manassas and the girls, we have Zaynah and Magna Carta. Our results were stunning – we took a Color Championship and first place with Magna Carta as a juvenile, a second place for Atmos and Zaynah, and a six place with Manassas! Four alpacas and four ribbons! I have to remind myself that the Futurity is the annual event which can be equated to the “Superbowl” of Alpaca compe read more...

Let us introduce to you our newest additions to the Liberty Alpacas herd – the “Z” girls!
Zaynah, a bay black
Zarial, a light fawn
Both girls have magnificent phenotype – not to mention their exceptional fleece quality, pedigree and conformation. My favorite, is their heads. This is what every successful breeder is trying to achieve. Short, smothered in fleece, and in one word -- stunning.
We had a fun time at the 2016 Amber Autumn Invitational, being held at the Corona Ranch outsid read more...

It’s no secret that we sell a lot of alpaca socks every year – people keep coming back for more because of their quality and comfort!
I had a caller order more socks this week, and he said “You know, your socks are worth their weight in platinum!” Wow, pretty cool….and then he went on to say, “every time I have a house guest, they steal my socks!”
For those who have not tried out socks, what are you waiting for? Christmas is almost here! The gift of alpaca is enjoyed and appreciated all ye read more...

Any excuse for Jeff to fire up the Cub Cadet – he’s on it! He loves his farm machine, gator, fun mobile while working on the farm. He even has a smile on his face when he gets on it! Should have got him one years ago!
We haven’t had any snow yet this year, but I’m sure as soon as we do – photos will be taken and I’ll post on a future blog.
Ladies, if you really want to make your farm hand happy – get him his own farm toy. The next thing on his list is a drone. Oh brother, you should hear h read more...

Commander, our ever loyal guardian dog loves to eat. All 140 lbs. of him.
One of my favorite things to do is make Sunday breakfast and then take him all the leftovers. Commander is always happy to see me and this morning, it was no exception, for I had made Belgian waffles. He waited by the fence for me to deposit my cooking at his feet – still steaming with heat. Happily, he gobbled them up and looked up to me as if he was saying – are there more?
Love these kind working dogs. He’s a wond read more...
