KRM Farm Day
Home Up

On Friday evening, April  18th - Several folks came in early and stayed over for
a relaxing evening. First we had a Chili supper that Lillian had prepared. Then at sunset 
we sat around and had a few drinks and relaxed. After dark - around 9 - 10PM there was a full moon 
so we walked on down and was treated to all of the females pronging 
back and forth through the fields under the moonlight.

Saturday, April 19th and it is was time for our annual FARM DAY.

Early in the morning everyone began arriving and all walked 
back to the house for coffee & breakfast.

After lunch we gathered for  Lillian's clinic, and a lot of discussion
  on pregnant Llama Moms and new born cria..

Moving on toward the end of the day all moved to the big barn for a
shearing and toenail demonstration by Dave Beck.

Our day started off a little cloudy with one or two spits of rain, but by afternoon
the clouds disappeared and it turned out  warm and sunny.

To all who attended, Hope you all had a wonderful experience.
And those who couldn't make it we missed you.

See you next year here at Kent Rock Meadows for the  Annual Farm Day Event................
