Princess Pink was bred

After weeks of research and talking to a dozen breeders, we decided to bring her back to Cathy at Beacon Bend Alpacas and breed her to one of her bucks. Even though she wasn't in heat, we took her over there and put the two virgins together. It was successful in just a few minutes. She spent the night at their farm and they attempted a second breeding today but Princess wouldn't have any of it so I will be picking her up today and keeping my fingers crossed for the next 31 days. The buck has a beautiful and unusual color so I am really curious as to what color babies she'll have. We decided it would be best to go back to Cathy for Princess' first breeding where she was familiar and I was familiar.

We have had to adjust which rabbits we're getting from Daisy Hill Farms. We will be getting the red buck and the chinchilla doe, Karen in just under two weeks at the Oregon Flock and Fiber Festival. I am really excited to go to the festival and learn more about the angoras, Pygoras and spinning. I hope that Brett can find silkie bearded bantam chicken breeders while we are there as well.
