Marshmellow Cream

This week I will be purchasing Marshmellow Cream. She is a 5 year old white female and is bred to MFI Peruvian Providence. Because I couldn't sleep tonight, I watched an hour long program with Donald Trump. Quite the entrepreneur! Donald gave good advice about current real estate trends, etc. He also had some great quotes.. "Never ever give up" and "Don't quit". Two great ones that I will think about throughout the lifetime of Stoneberg Alpacas, LLC.

Tax Seminar

Friday November 30th, 2007 I will be at NWA and involved in a tax seminar. Peggy Stevens and Fred Kraft will be conducting the class. I look forward to learning more about the tax advantages of owing, raising and breeding Alpacas.

p.s. I passed my DRE final knowledge exam... I guess now I'm considered and expert when dealing with impaired drivers under the influence of drugs other than alcohol.

Anatolian and Stoneys Tuxedo

My 2007 boys: Anatolian and Stoneys Tuxedo. With 4 pregnant girls, I'm hoping next year will, "Gimme girls!"

Pearl!

"Go big or go home!" I guess that can describe me. Over the last 10 days, I have been working with Northwest Alpacas on the purchase of Pearl. She is 10 years old and her last 3 cria are eye openers. Her micron is 23.45 which for 10 years old is excellent. For example, LPA Mocha has a micron of 36.33.

Pearl is very dense, very soft and has nice crimp. She is half Peruvian and half Accoyo. She is bred to MFI Peruvian Providence who is the son of 6Peruvian Accoyo Titan. I can't wait for her 2008 cria...wether boy or girl, the outcome will be fun to see.

With the addition of Pearl, that brings my pregnant females to 4! I think its safe to say next summer my business is going to explode.

Northwest Alpacas and Alpacas at Tucker Creek!

I wanted to take a moment and thank Northwest Alpacas http://www.alpacas.com/ and Alpacas at Tucker Creek http://www.alpacadigest.com/ for the endless questions I have sent their way. I purchased Brandy from Alpacas at Tucker Creek and both Aspire and Mocha from NWA. I have another NWA alpaca on my radar. Stay tuned.

Aspire

Aspire had a healthy boy cria named Stoneys Tuxedo. My blog may be quiet for a while...I will be working on http://www.stonebergalpacas.com/ and preparing for a test at work that occurs on Nov.14! However, 2008 should be exciting as June, July and September I sould be reporting cria on the ground!

Aspire is re-bred to Studmaster MSA Peruvian Brunello for a July 2008 cria.

LPA Mocha

Here is a picture of LPA Mocha . She gave birth to a health boy cria named Stoneys Tuxedo. Comparing Mocha to Brandy Storm you can see what Studmaster genetics produce. Visit http://www.ideal-alpaca.com/ and check out those boys!!

Mocha is re-bred to Studmaster Pacific Crest Accoyo Paul Revere for a September 2008 cria.

Brandy Storm!!

Thanks for checking in. This is the first entry and I'm sure there will be many to come! One week ago, I drove to Astoria and visited Alpacas at Tucker Creek. I lost my way but eventually made it. As I exited my car, Peggy Stevens was walking down her driveway. I had met her twice before at NWA and on one occassion had seen CocoPuff...Oh my what an absolutely beautiful girl!! Tucker Creek Alpacas is an excellent ranch, breeding to Studmaster males that produce excellent cria. After about 6 hours with Peggy, including some Tax number crunching, I purchased Brandy Storm. Her father is Studmaster Glacial Storm. Brandy is a beautiful medium brown girl with excellent fiber coverage. I'm excited for her June 2008 cria, as she is bred to Pacific Crest Accoyo Paul Revere. Gimme a girl!!
