When we started to load up for the show, we quickly saw that we had no room for a 5th male for the trip. Since Hottie has taken first at each place he has been shown, we decided to end his show career, so as to let some of the new kids "strut their stuff!"
Hot Pepper, a Sargent Pepper offspring, is first place all the way. Remarkable luster and pencil locks, with a personality that can't be beat. He is funny, inquisitive, and gentle. Hottie is already "eyeing the girls," and is dreaming about his upcoming herdsire status.

September 21- 23

We did not take Mercury Marquis and Hot Pepper to Shreveport because of the alpaca virus outbreak. After learning how to watch for the virus and a treatment plan for it, we should be back on track for the remainder of this season’s shows. I will always err on the side of caution where the health of my animals is concerned!

After winning a First Place at the 2007 Palmetto Alpaca Classic, and a Third at the New Mexico State Fair with judges’ comments that she is a beautiful and elegant girl, Mecca is being kept open for breeding to our incredible Mercury Marquis and retired from the show ring.  She has earned her right to take it easy now, as she enters the motherhood stage of her life. Watch for the announcement of this wonderful cria sometime in 2008.
