Kipster is growing up

Kipster just passed his three month mark. At shearing time, ten weeks, his fleece was 3-3.5 inches. The canon powershot s50 is in for repairs. So the attached pix are from the camcorder at 1.5 megapixels.

Aurora speaks out

The Kipster has been up to mischief. He's always bumping into me and sometimes tries to catch my rear leg with his front ones. The boy's had one thing on his mind almost since birth...and I'm sure you can guess what that is.

As for me, I still hold the ranch record for ribbons won: a blue ribbon and reserve color championship at The Great Western Alpaca Show 2005 and a third place ribbon for fleece at AOBA Nationals 2005. I am posting a pix of my triumph at GWAS. I was a year old then, but I'm much more glamorous now.

I don't think my mom is going to enter my fleece this year. She is waiting to campaign The Kipster next year, while I'm here pregnant...I think? hope? You know the boys, they are always....

Elegantly yours,
A
P.S. . Don't you think an alpaca as beautiful as I am should be recognized by using only a letter instead of a single name like all those Hollywood stars ?

The Kipster - ready for a conversation

Did you know that I sheared over 3 inches of fleece. You should see me now. I am bay black with sable underlining. I can't wait until I am a stud. I am driving Aurora, my half-sister crazy.

Can you imagine what I have to put up with?

Phi Beta Paca's The Kipster

Kipster is now going on three months. [Posted picture is at three days when he was the color of mahagony velvet]. He was just sheared and looks bay black with sable underneath and those white eyebrows. His conformation is all I could wish for, strong and straight. His ear tips reach the top ov the four foot no-climb fence. He is thinking about breeding, even at his young age, trying to hump the girls. New picture soon.
