By Mary Donaty – Owner and operator of Paradise Found Fiber Farm
Early this year my farm was part of a rescue effort; 176 alpacas were in trouble in Oregon. OSU stepped in and treated the neglected and undernourished animals then Cross Creek Alpaca Rescue of Tenino, WA organized a massive project to rehome the animals that could travel.
The Girls!
On March 22, 2014 six of these Suri Alpaca girls came to Paradise Found Fiber Farm and on May 24, 2014 Misty May Lynn was born weighing in at 16 lbs. Abigail, her mom, is a doing a great job; at age 11 she’s had many babies and knows just what to do. All of the girls are now free from their mud caked legs, gaining weight and will soon be sporting new haircuts.
