I was Invited for a Tour of an Alpaca Farm called, Oregon Aragon Alpacas. (Jovi was There But he Had to Chill in the SUV) Alpacas Apparently dont Like Dogs. They are Very Interesting Learned a lot about them on my Private Tour of the Farm, They all have Names and I was Introduced to all of them. They dont like to be Touched, and the Way they Talk to Each Other they Hum. The House and Barn are Over a Hundred Years Old
Alpacas are quiet, gentle and curious animals, slightly smaller than their camelid cousin, the llama. Indigenous to the Andes of South America, they graze on pasture grass or browse blackberry bushes and low tree limbs. Fleece colors range from white and light fawn to brown, mahogany, rose gray, silver, and black, and many shades in between.
Alpacas are fleece animals — that is the harvest of our farming business. Aragon Alpacas began breeding toward fineness of dark-colored fleece, but for hand-spinning, we recognize that light colors are very dyeable and desirable, too. And Nature has a way of surprising us!
My daughter is crazy about them. She just went on a walk with them. Looks like a lovely place. Nice series
I would not say I was crazy about them but I was very interested, and when I got this chance on a private tour beyond the fence, I jumped at it they are very interesting Thanks for visiting Peter. Thats cool your daughter likes them, thanks for the comment
I never knew there were brown ones around, always thought they only came in “cream” color. I believe someone needs to see an orthodontist 😁. Looks like a great place to wander around. Thanks for sharing Tom.
They come in gray and black too 🙂 Thanks for visiting and thanks for the comment Camellia
