2009 New Additions

Summertime in Kentucky!  It is beautiful here.  Lush green fields for the animals, soy beans in our fields and an amazing corn crop growing next door.  It was 8 feet tall by the forth of July.  Here are some of our 2009 models.  We have a wonderful crop of Double Trouble babies on the ground.  They all look like DT! Five so far with a few more due in the fall.  Check back for more pictures.

Shawn just doesn't know how to say no!  Meet our new donkeys, Jack and Jenny.  Jack has a lot to say.  When he decides to bray in the barn, it echoes all the way to the mailbox!  The two Great Pyrenees puppies were given to me from our new friend Tim Auck of Serenity Alpacas.  The two girls were born January 10, 2009 and are sweet.  Isabella is outgoing and Roxanne is a bit shy.  She is slowly coming out of her shell.

2009 Spring Time in Kentucky

The pear and maple trees lining the driveway were in full bloom late March.  It is so nice to have beautiful lush pastures!

2008  New Home in Kentucky

We moved to Springfield Kentucky late September 2008. We love our new farm and the beautiful views.  On our way through Lexington, we saw a school bus - it had a horse in the back!

2008 Shearing Extravaganza

This year we had 28 alpacas and 3 llamas to shear.  All went smoothly because of the people who gave their time to help us.  Special thanks to James Harkerss for being anal a perfectionist in shearing our babies and Taylor for being a good soldier. We also want to thank our Gorham High School friends, teachers Deb Gaudette, Kathy Wallace and students Ilene and Becky, for all of their effort and hard work in making sure that we had accurate shearing weights and micron samples on everyone.  We are blessed to have such people in our life!

2008 Spring Shows

Wow!  We had a great spring at the shows!  Our sincere appreciation to Molly Stimpson of Second Wind Farm and our friends from the Gorham High School, teachers Deb Gaudette, Kathy Wallace (and husband David!) and students Ilene and Becky.  With their help at the North American Alpaca Show, Sunshine Alpacas was able to keep on track and win a gazillion ribbons!
