Ambriel Acres Alpacas

In this blog, I'm going to talk about our alpaca farm, Ambriel Acres Alpacas. We are located in the Middle Tennessee Valley between Nashville and Chattanooga. We'll be essentially starting from the ground up so if you're thinking about starting your own alpaca business, this might be a good place to learn. If you're just curious, welcome aboard.

Hey Ange!

Angeline


The name Angeline is Italian in origin meaning angel or messenger.

Angeline is settling in nicely and her personality is starting to show. She is demonstrating a bit of independence just like her mother Aurora and sibling Amadora. She sometimes wanders off on her own exploring the farm only to realize everybody left and she's all alone! This morning I found her in the boy pen with the five young males. The boys welcomed her into their group and didn't try to hurt or harm her. I went down there, picked her up and placed her in the barn where her mother could come to her rescue.

I will have to say that although Aurora and I have had our differences, she is an excellent mother. Aurora is sort of the leader of the group and she has no problem voicing her displeasure with me as I administer her monthly deworming injection or attempt to trim her nails. I've been spit at on numerous occasions. She is very protective with Angeline as well as her two year old daughter! She is very strong willed and can be hard to handle but I have to say that I'm impressed with her motherly instincts.


LGD "Santo" making sure Angeline is safe!
