We had a new addition to the mini-farm on Mother’s Day! Folks, this is Jasper!

The three alpaca boys are lined up walking away from the camera towards the barn. Their fluffy butts are on display.

Rounding up the critters for their haircuts!

All three boys are standing together and facing the camera, looking a bit like you caught them smoking in the bathroom in a 50s movie. Why exactly one alpaca insists on wearing half of the pasture in his fleece, I will never know.

Two weeks from shearing and one of these goofballs cannot keep his fleece clean.

Inside a barn stall, three alpaca are eating hay, two are facing the camera, one has his floofy butt to the camera. The black boy in the back has hay hanging out of his mouth, as is his common practice. The brown boy is making strong eye contact.

The weather just took a turn for the warmer. With shearing only 4 weeks away, we may be seeing peak floof right now!

Farmer’s Log: To avoid getting snowed on, the boys pooped in the threshold of the barn, trapping themselves. This distressed them, so the Alpaca Rescue Unit, Farmer Leah with a poop rake, was dispatched to the scene. Alpaca activities have been normalized. Just another winter day at the minifarm!

Two alpaca standing together. The brown boy has his butt to the camera, but is looking back over his shoulder as if to say, “I know you are staring at my butt.” The black boy is partially in frame, standing near the other’s butt, and is facing the camera as if to say, “wow! Check out that floof!”

Even Max is impressed by Ben’s floofy butt!

Alpaca eating hay facing the camera, with another behind her that is just peeking around her.

Java hopes you had a healthy breakfast this morning!
