KRM NEWS -2012

Feb 21th, 2012 - Tuesday

A busy day around here yesterday. On my early morning walk to the girl's barn I saw what I was looking for.
It was barely light outside but in the pasture I could see Peruvian Maiden Voyage standing over her new cria.
He must have been born just at first light. How exciting - A new Peruvian male out of Peruvian Expedition.
And the last cria born here at Kent Rock Meadows. This new boy is the end of all breeding/birthing here at our farm.
In the next few days we will be updating with newer pics of both he and his Mom...
Both he and his Mom - Peruvian Maiden Voyage are up for sale. Check out our updated sale page and then call us.

I guess the rain is heading toward for tonight - We'll wait and see.

Guess what - Spring is here!

A beautiful sunny day here. And with the end of January we now see the forsythia and the daffodils blossoming.
And the camelias in town have been in full bloom all January. Very spectacular.

Our dispersal sale continues, and a couple of the girls have been spoken for. Still, some beautiful suris and non-suris looking for a new home and someone who will love them & show them.

We were under a tornado watch all day and after it was all done just under 2 inches of rain - puddles all over the fields.

Jan 15, 2012 - Sunday

In the last two years we have cut way back in our herd size and we no longer are breeding or traveling to shows.
Since we are spending less & less time farming and more time away at the beach we have made the decision to close out
everything here at our ranch.

Therefore, a final sale closing out starts today. Please take a look at our Sale Page, including the Group Sale Page.

We have listed all of our remaining llamas for sale.

	The rain has ended for awhile and by noon time Mariposa and her baby girl went charging out of the barn door and some pasture time.
	I have been taking care of a few fence repairs while Lil has been painting the front fence line with every one of these great springtime in the winter days.
	A New direction moving forward here at the farm, and I will be putting a big update in the "KRM NEWS" by week end. Check back in ...........

Jan 02, 20112 - Monday HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012 TO ALL!!!!!!

A new year - it's hard to imagine that 2011 is history. It seemed like it was a fleeting moment.

But, here we go again!!! This morning I walked down front to check on everything and while cleaning the barn
let Mariposa and her new little girl out into the center aisle.

Then later I put both of them out into the corral I built for them - baby still had her cria coat on as the wind was howling.
In fact the wind has been blowing wild all night.

What a change we went through yesterday - started out with a forecast of 70 degrees - NOT!!
It stayed cloudy and never really got above 60 degrees, just before the wind picked up and the temperatures started dropping.

Have to get the last of the water lines wrapped before day's end since we are supposed to be down around 18 degrees tomorrow night.
And we'll have to bank up the hay inside of the barn since all of the females will probably be in there as the temps dip.

Here we at the end of a new year, and every day holds a new and wonderful surprise. This morning, I walked down to the barn to clean and feed all and
while I was inside cleaning I noticed that the females had not come up to the door as they usually do- bumping and shoving to get inside & get fed.

Better take a look out front and see where they are. There they all were grouped around something, and guess what - Mariposa P5 was standing there
with her new cria right there by her side. Looked like it had been born no more than 1/2 to 1 hour ago. And already it was pushing it's legs
underneath and trying to stand.

I scooped it up and all the females followed me into the barn where Lil and I fixed Mariposa's stall with fresh hay water, and checked the baby out - dried her off
and already she was looking to nurse. A strong healthy full Peruvian female. Yes, it is a beautiful day.

Here are three quick pictures in her new stall - no more than 1 1/2 hours old.


	MOM is Mariposa P5 one of the imports directly from Peru. We were fortunate to bring her to our farm early this Spring. And she has been here this whole year being pampered, filling up on grain and great Bermuda grass AND developing this beautiful baby girl whose father is Peruvian Expedition, a son of Peruvian Maximo .

Another beautiful day in a long string of them. Yesterday we went on into Augusta to do some Christmas shopping and can you believe it -
It was in the mid 70's all day. I'm sure it will change sooner or later but we are enjoying the temperate days -

And the llamas are luvin it just as much.. ..
The weather is great & there is a lot of green grass since I opened up the field down behind the cottage. They run like a bunch of little youngsters
when that gate gets opened in the morning.

AT this time of year we think of all of our friends and family and hope you all are enjoying these days as much as Lil and I are.

We are into December and so fast it will suddenly be Christmas time. What a great time to look towards enjoying friends and family .

We haven't experienced any "real" December weather as yet, in fact today is in the high 50's and off and on sun.
Tonight and tomorrow rain, and we look forward to it because we so drastically need rain to fill our lakes back up.

Heard from our friends out West and they are all expecting VERY COLD WEATHER this week - I can hardly believe it - zero and below??
Take care of those new babies and give them all fresh hay for bedding.

We have let all of the females into a pasture that they have never been into before. This field has always been for all of our males, but since now we
only have the one male, Star Point Blank, we felt it was time that he shared part of his tall grass. So the girls are enjoying a big field of grass so
long it touches their bellies. But not for long - they'll soon have it all chomped down, and then it will be strictly hay for the remainder of the winter.
