CC Wins a Blue Ribbon!
CC
took home a first place blue ribbon at the 2008 Alpacapalooza Alpaca
Show in Puyallup. The April show at the Puyallup Fairgrounds is
the largest alpaca show in Washington State with over 800 alpacas being
shown. Our little female Suri, Bella Bianco, also took home a
sixth place ribbon in her class. We are very proud of both of
them!
Firwood
Farm Alpacas is located about 30 miles south of Seattle
in the heart of the beautiful Puyallup Valley.
The value
of alpaca fleece is the economic basis of the
future market for alpacas. An alpaca breeder
with a small herd on small acreage can expect
to harvest his animals' fleece and sell their
offspring profitably.
Firwood
Farm is owned by Greg and Leanna Stidham and named after
a neighborhood many "old timers" refer to as Firwood. ▪ more
Most
alpaca ranchers readily sell their fleece for $2
to $6 an ounce to local artisans. Each animal on
average will produce five to eight pounds of
fleece a year. ▪ more
