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.

Fencing & Baling

With the onslaught of too many males I was forced to put in another pasture to separate the yearlings from the older boys. The young males were just getting beat up by the big boys and with separate pastures for each it will work out much better.

Last month I baled our field for the second cutting and we got almost 400 bales. Our two boys Kris and Jansen helped get them out of the field and 9 year old grandson Hunter pitched in with driving duties.







I was working in the field yesterday and our neighbor's Jack Russell Terrorist was barking and running around like the maniac that he is. Well, Marilyn and Shakira didn't like it much and were voicing their displeasure. It did however enable me to get a couple of fairly decent photos.

Next month will begin our fall breeding and birthing season. We will have three crias on the ground within the next couple of months so that should be exciting. Also, we have some junior herdsires who have filled out applications for stud row and we'll see if any of them made the cut!
