BlackHawk Ranch & Photography

Spring Bling in it's first year did very well for us as photographers.  We met a lot of new farms and saw some old ones too.  We enjoyed the show, although it moved a little slower then years past but overall, I'd say it was a good show for new breeders.  The judge was very thourough and gave good comments.  We stayed busy and are looking forward to the Madison show at the end of the month.

This is Janna Grace's last two cria, FireHawk is now going to be two and Kentucky Bourboun is turning one.  There are great similarities among all of her crias and these two boys are no exception.  They have gorgous fiber, with very low microns, great staple length and crimp.  They also have lustre.  FireHawk will be available for breedings with in the next year and watch for tuck down the road!

With the warmer temps and a little sun we were able to get all nine of our animals on halters and leads today.  We photographed all nine animals and we all got a little exercise.  All of our boys are looking nice and the fiber is great.  Can't beat a nice Spring Day.  Photos below:

Bean doing his thing, he is still in training!

  Cowboy and his awesome grey fleece!

  J-Lo, which was Truffles first Cria.

  This is Chocolate Liberty, known as Libby.

  Wyoming's Indian Outlaw, he is Truffles only Suri Cria.

  This is Truffles, our breeding Llama.

  This is our breeding alpaca, Janna grace.

  This is BHR's Kentucky Bourbon and BHR's FireHawk, both are Janna's boys.  Tuck is sired from med brown and FireHawk is sired from white.  They both have great coverage, and an abundant staple.

 

I plan to work on these photos and hopefully they will be great when they are done.

Spring Bling has quickly come upon us.  This is their first year and we'll see how everything goes.  We got all of our equipment packed up and in the truck last night, the night prior.  We are looking forward to the show even though we are not showing any animals.  We have one that could have gone, Kentucky Bourbon, however, he is not registered yet and we are not members of AOBA yet.  Hopefully for the fall.  We officially changed out photo name this year to BlackHawk Ranch & Photography so we'll see how that goes.  We are not accepting Credit cards for this show but hopefully we will be able to again for the next show. We'll let you know how the show went after it's over.
