We
blended the 2006 and 2007 clip resulting
in 900 lbs of raw prime fiber. It
has been shipped to Tapetes de Lana
in Mora NM (formerly Taos Valley Wool
Mill) for processing.
We
have both Suri and Huacaya yarn available
from the 2005 clip processed at the
Taos Valley Wool Mill in 4oz skeins
and 1lb cones.
We
offer 5 different colors, all natural/dye

our yarn in several yarn stores across
the United States with excellent response
to the quality and beauty of the Alpaca
fiber.

Alpaca
Education and Ranch Open House
Elbert, Colorado |

 Update
on the Nutrition and Fiber Seminars held on June 28,
2003 at the Weather'd T Ranch.
Our guest speakers
were Dr. Norman Evans, DVM, LAMA Wellness Service and
Ruth Elvestad, R & R Alpacas Ltd.
We would like to
thank the speakers as well as each person attending
for an excellent day of learning and talking "alpaca".
At the end of day,
Gary and I felt it had been a very educational day as
well as a fun day to get acquainted with other alpaca
owners.
Yes, if you missed
this one………..we are planning to have another ranch day
in the Spring of 2004 featuring Nutrition and Fiber.
Two very important elements in the well being of our
alpacas that go hand-in-hand.
