Farm Days Fun—Help Alpacas West Name the Baby Boy

Baby boy alpaca was born June 12th 2008 to Clorinda and Redemer.

Within days it was obvious that he was a stunner. Still without a name, baby boy asks for your help in choosing his name.

September 27th and 28th 2008, Alpacas West will host visits to their farm for National Alpaca Farm Days.

During your visit you are invited to submit your favorite alpaca name for

consideration. You will receive a McDonalds gift certificate (as long as they last) to thank you for visiting Alpacas West and submitting a name (only one name per guest please).

If your favorite name is picked as the best of all the names submitted for baby boy on September 27th and 28th, the little guy’s parents, Clorinda and Redemer will give you an I-POD Shufle 1GB – a thank you for naming their baby.

The name will be chosen at 2:30 PM Sunday, September 28th at Alpacas West. You do not have to be present to have your

name selected but you must have visited the farm on either September 27th or 28th and have submitted your favorite name for consideration.

After reading Bearly Believable, and the tragic Spitting Chicken story you may be asking yourself; “What kind of fencing does Alpacas West use?”

We thought long and hard about how to protect our alpacas from dogs and wildlife. To discourage digging under the fence, we decided on a six foot heavy wire fence with rocks on the outside boarder of the fencing.

Our gates are double 5 x 6 ft gates with concrete barriers between the ground and the gate bottom. 

Maybe we’ve overdone it a bit but there have been no tragedies since the fences have gone in. 

The alpacas are put into secure barns at night and roam the pastures by day.

We would recommend this fencing to

anyone who has dog problems or other predatory wildlife concerns.

We still see plenty of natural wildlife while our alpacas safely graze in the pastures.

Sterling’s real name is Strictly Sterling Silver. She was born November 4, 2006. It was immediately obvious that she would be a star.

La Campana is Sterling’s dam. One-hundred percent of La Campana’s crias have been grey. She is a member of the Alpacas West herd.

Sterling’s sire is Strictly Formal owned by Alpacas of America. He is a striking true black herdsire.

Sterling’s histogram as a yearling was 22.5 microns, with a standard deviation of 5.2 microns and only 8.9 % of fibers greater than 30 microns.

Her fleece is a beautiful silvery shade of grey with no other markings. She has a nice straight back, great legs, and a charming face. Her bite is perfect but best of all she is a sweet and gentle little girl. 

Come to the farm to meet her.

Every family has it story. Ours has the usual elements– land, home, children, tree houses, forts, animals, more animals and now grandchildren and alpacas. 

The parade of ducks, chickens, horses, family cow, cats, alpacas and dogs, dogs, dogs has marched on since 1977.

Most of the dogs were rescue dogs. Our favorite was Barney, the English Sheep dog. We’ll want to find another Barney some day.

Once an animal joined our pack, it was given exceptional care and a home for life. Our alpacas are treated with the same concern for their health and well-being.

Our commitment to caring for our alpacas guarantees healthy, gentle, animals.

We are a business committed to integrity, quality animals, and exceptional customer service.
