Snow Diamond Felicity and Little Z
Our first Cria arrived 9/27/22. A 15.3 pound boy born to Snow Diamond Felicity and Alpaca Palace's Zinger. And boy does he look like Zinger. Glenn is calling him Little Z for now. The sponsor parents are working on a name this weekend.
The second cria of the season is a 16.5 pound male born to Joey's Stargazer Lilly and Sawdust's Almond Thunder. Both are doing well.
The crias are so much fun to watch in the pens. Little Z stays close to mom while Little Thunder is really independ read more...

Sawdust's Holly
Sawdust's Holly as of 1/15/22
I was asked today about one of our crias (babies) that had this condition. So here is what I have learned:
Neonatal Maladjustment Syndrome in Foals (commonly referred to as Dummy Foal Syndrome) is normally attributed to horses. However, other animals can also have a form of this condition.
Our Sawdust's Holly was born May 29, 2021, weighing 14.6 lbs. She appeared to be fine when born but within a short period of time, she found a corner of the barn an read more...

Sawdust’s Holly was born on May 29, 2021 at 7 P.M. She weighed 14.3 ponds at birth. (Alpaca Mom’s usually have their cria (baby) between 9 A.M and 2 P.M. In the high Andes mountains this gives the cria a chance for the fiber to dry. Unlike other animals, alpaca moms are not able to dry their cria off so they have to dry naturally). We soon discovered that Miss Holly had some serious medical issues – in a horse it is called Dummy Foal Syndrome (you will have to look that up). Since it was M read more...

Sawdust's Koko
Geez, Don't know where to start. So much going on here at Sawdust Alpacas.
The Store building was delivered Mid March. We used alpaca fiber to insulate the walls, then put visqueen over that. Next came the sheet rock on the ceiling and walls. We then put in all the electrical outlets, boxes for the ceiling lights and fan.
April - we took a trip to Bend OR to pick up furnishings from the store that were donated to us by our friends at Snow Diamond Alpacas. When we got home, the furnis read more...

Farm Raising - grand prize drawing
Well, we had our Farm Store (Barn) Raising event on March 20, 2021. We had a great time online (Zoom) and want to thank every one who attended, purchased or donated to our cause. We have purchased Sherwin Williams paint in their new color - ALPACA. How cool is that. We also have purchased lights and the flooring and have some money left for whatever.
We have the store insulation completed with our 2nd and 3rd from prior years shearing. Visqueen over that, sheet rock. Now we are waiting read more...
