June and it's already HOT IN AUSTIN!

We are really getting into summer early. For the past few days it has been over 100 degrees and there is no end in sight! We go out 3 times a day to water the alpacas' bellies, and make sure that we add electrolights to their water. Hope we have a break soon, or it's going to be a long summer!

Shearing us All!

Well, this is the day Uncle Sam shears everyone, so it was fitting that it was the day to shear the heard! We had lots of help, and Jenifer and Stever Oldacre brought their six animals to join us. There were some "screamers" (you'd think you were killing them if you didn't almost have those that go to sleep while they are being sheared). We finished by noon, and they guys from Alley Packa were great!
