@JennsLenz No worries on their names. I just like sharing them.

@JennsLenz Emmy the Llama is one of the friendliest llamas on the farm.

[Bonnie Kittrell @Double8Alpaca]

@JennsLenz This is Rose Marie. She's a suri alpaca. Suri alpacas make up around 10% of the National herd of alpacas. Their fleece is silk-like

[Bonnie Kittrell @Double8Alpaca]

@JennsLenz This is Vicki Vale. She plays the role of the groom at weddings. She's also super sweet with our new 4-H members as they are learning how to care for and show alpacas.

Want to provide your local beautiful birds luxury bedding? We often find bird nests around our farm built out of the fiber from our alpacas that we left out after shearing day. Now you too can offer your birds a luxury alpaca nest! https://t.co/w7upi1Nicr @LoudounFarmMkts
