We're actually getting 4 alpacas. You've already met Bam Bam and Titanium (see the post on "The Boys"); we're also getting 2 girls, named Hula and Sabetha. They have fancy registered names too, but la la. You won't find me out in the pasture saying "Come here, KAOA Rum BamBoozle" - Bam Bam is much easier. You get the idea.
Hula is a female, born last June. She's not quite full grown yet, and will be bred next summer (2009), and have her first cria in 2010. See how we got suckered in to buying alpacas? She looks like a teddy bear.
People always ask us where you buy alpacas. Well, I haven't found an Alpacas "R" Us store, yet. We've had really good luck with the alpacanation website, which is where we found our breeders, Apple Orchard Alpacas. The Kandiko's have been great - they've been in the business for a long time, and are really good advocates for the industry. Be sure to buy from a reputable breeder, it makes your life a lot easier.
