Big Rock Alpaca Farm

Fall has suddenly arrived after a quick summer and it is again time for Fall Harvest Days at Ashcombe Farm and Greenhouses.  This year Fall Harvest Days will include Sundays as well as Saturdays.  On Saturdays in October, Big Rock Alpaca Farm will be there from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM and on Sundays we will be there from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM, weather permitting.

We will have a couple alpaca along for everyone to see and pet.  Not quite sure who it will be yet.  It will probably be different alpacas from day to day.

Hope to see you there.  If you can’t make it out you can shop for alpaca products at our online store located at http://shop.bigrockalpacafarm.com.

Latest News:  There will also be a friend bringing her spinning wheel to demonstrate spinning alpaca fiber from apx. 9:30 – 12:00 on Saturday!

It has been a busy week here at Big Rock Alpaca Farm.  Last Friday Thunder Storm ROX was born and today, Peekaboo ROX was born.  And it’s a GIRL!!!!  This birth wasn’t nearly as dramatic as Thunder’s was.  Most of the birth was missed except for the final drop to the ground.  And everyone is doing good.  By evening when I got to weigh her she was 17.5lbs, Thunder weighs 20lbs now.  The pasture is going to be very fun to watch this fall.

September 3, 2010 Thunder Storm ROX was born at 12:45 to Rose.  There were some small complications and thankful Dr. Anne Parker from Compassion Animal Hospital was nearby and able to assist in the birth.  Thunder’s shoulders were catching on Rose’s pelvis and he was having trouble coming out.  He weighed 16 pounds, which is a nice sized cria, especially for Rose as she’s smaller female.

The interesting things was Snowfox was the one we were watching for giving birth.  She was bred two weeks earlier than Rose so we should have another cria shortly.

Here are some pictures from Thunder’s first day:
