Cria Season at Pronkin' Pastures!
We have several crias (alpaca babies) due this summer! We expect the most of them to arrive in June and the last of the new arrivals by mid August. Plan to visit this summer and you may experience a very special 'cria encounter'!

Shearing Day at Pronkin' Pastures |
June 22, 2019
|
As a fiber farmer, shearing day is one of the most anticipated days of the year! It's so exciting to see the fiber our animals have produced, and the results of our breeding program as we shear young animals for the first time. Shearing is a working weekend for us, so the farm is closed on this weekend. We do sometimes have need for a helping hand, though! If you are interested in helping on shearing day, feel free to contact us. It's a great learning experience as well as an opportunity to see the animals up close, and view fleeces fresh off the animal. As this is a working weekend, space is limited, give us a call or email us for details and/or to reserve a spot.
