Three outstanding show entries

We have three entries still out, our final spinoff entry for our 2008 fleeces should be back in a couple weeks and we also have sent out our 2009 alpaca fleeces to the Estes Park Wool Festival where they are entered in the full fleece competition.  Hopefully we will receive those fleeces back in time to send off to a couple spinoffs that have deadlines at the end of June.

Show Season went well.

The 2009 halter season went well.  We showed our alpaca boys at one show in Minnesota and BHR's FireHawk received fourth place in a small class and BHR's Kentucky Bourbon received third place in a very large class.  The judge did not comment on FireHawk, however she said that Tuck surprised her when she opened up his fleece and that she did not expect it to be as nice as it was.  Yay Tuck!  Our suri llama was shown at the Badgerland Sweepsteaks, however he did not place.  He got some much needed experience off the farm, however and he will continue to get worked on the farm.

2009 Shearing Done

This years shearing went well.  We sheared all of our animals in about two weeks.  Even the sheep are done.  We look forward to preparing many of the fleeces from this year and when they are prepared, rovings will be available for purchase.

If you think you are interested in rovings from some of our animals, the following colors will be available.

Llama -- Light Rose Grey, Silver Grey, Medium Brown

Alpacas -- Medium Brown
