2007

2007 has been a busy year at the farm. We purchased 45 acres last year and put up a new barn. When our house sells, the next step is building a home. We are excited with this because we will have more room for our alpacas. We also have a new grandson (Caleb) and another grandson due this Spring. We have acquired 3 new females and have some new ones due this Spring. All is great at Big River Alpacas.
