Alpacas

/ youngretireeneedsalife

Yesterday took a fun trip to Roscoe, New York to visit ..

What fun to see the over 100 alpacas on this 38 acre farm been around for over 12 years.

The owner, Kara, gave me a wonderful tour explaining the warmth, waterproof, varied color, and softness of their fur.

This inspired me to due some retail damage of gloves, and pullover sweater. An early birthday gift to me..

The grounds were immaculate and on this pristine day glad I brought a lunch as fun to eat lunch while watching these beautiful animals.

Each May the alpacas are sheared. They are a pack animal. The farm sell the animals but Kara was mum on what they go for.

Some fun facts

There were other animals on the farm. This Vietnamese pig was a rescue.

Meet Daisy – she’s a mini pig. Can’t imagine what a maxi pig looks like.
What a treat – feathers in full Monty.

What a fun visit!
