We just lost our fleece!

After selling our 130 acre farm in the New York Finger Lakes, we have downsize the farm for a new life style in the Carolinas. We completed the move to the Mooresville area where we found our new place to raise our alpacas close to where our Saddlebred horses were in training . And of course we need to be near the water.

In this new life, we attended our first show on our own at CABO 2014 and showed three animals on our own. We have had animals for several years, starting with the fleece boys to learn about raising of the alpacas, and the entire new process of breeding. Then came the purchase of several females who were bred, went through the birthing process, then purchased a couple junior sires. We now have several outstanding seed stock breeding sires all with ribbons, banners, and excellent low micron fleeces.

Shows have become a way of life now getting all the crias ready for the showring and promoting our herd sires. We usually come home with some ribbons, in extremely large tough classes. We have also done some outside breeding and are awaiting crias to arrive in the new schedule--most in the spring. Since our move we have attended many more shows, met some fantastic alpaca people, attended seminars, and continue to learn more alpacas. We have gathered quite a few banners, blue ribbons, and new cries from our show girls that retired to the breeding herd. And now a new crop of crias will arrived soon. The spring crias will start halter training shortly to be ready for the next show season.

We have stocked Cleo's Country Cottage with our newly received 2020 yarn from the fiber mill along with hand-made alpaca products created with our own yarn. We have lots of unique items in the cottage. We have added goat milk soap, felted fragrant goat milk soap, goat milk hand soap also for you to enjoy. We have BugOff lotion that will repel the mosquitoes and has been strengthen to help repel the Zika virus. We have fingerless gloves, scarves, alpaca reversible hats from our own yarn, as well as many other unique alpaca items. Call for appointment to come by and take a look at all the goodies in the cottage.

We do have animals for sale and sires for breeding. Stop by and see us at the new farm. The Country Cottage is now open!!
