WELCOME ! come on in and stay
awhile This has been one hectic
and hot summer. First, while moving from our old home in Kansas a bozo ran into us that caused a lot of damage to our truck.
Then we even needed to replace an axle on the stock trailer. Next it was one of the hottest summers here. This fall things
have been looking up a lot. In November an editor from the paper came out and did a nice piece on us. It can still be viewed
on the Southern Standard's web site at Nov. 24th. Now the snow has started and I hear this is the coldest its been in
17 years. This is going to be great Paca-Vicuna wool growing weather! Of course if it gets too warm I can just ask Bill to
take the herd for a walk up the mountain where it stays cold and snowy. If you are looking for breeding stock, show goats,
or some of the finest wool in the world we hope you will come over and see us. <==============================================================================>
A Paco-Vicuna is an Alpaca crossed with its wild cousin the Vicuna to produce a super-fine and dense fiber. There are only a few of these animals in the United States. The fiber is renowned for its softness, fineness, rarity and color. Each animal is tested for fiber qualities and this info is available on request. The fiber is in the 14 to 17 micron range after maturity. After waiting and watching for days our newest mom had her Cria while we were gone.
"No help needed, thank you very much!" Mom and frisky baby are doing fine. And such fine wool.
.
The Boer goat was developed specifically for meat production. The name is from
a Dutch word meaning farmer. Boers commonly have white bodies and red heads. They have long pendulous ears and are known for
being docile, growing fast, and have high fertility rates. .
Kiko goats are hardy in the extreme and the young survive with minimal help from
humans. Kikos are commonly used for crosses to produce a commercial herd goat. .
Enjoy! Now please
excuse us because we are headed outside with some sweet tea to go swangin' while we watch the sunset over the
mountain. Come back soon because I am going to be adding pictures and info as I can take pictures and make up some words to
go with them.
