News from the Farm

One of our two cats, Jewel, just came into my office and announced (in so many words) that all blogging after a very long weekend would be improved with a kitty curled up on the lap. Definitely good for the soul in any case. More to come…
Cas-Cad-Nac Farm’s Consignments at the 2010 National Elite Alpaca Auction: Lot #70 CCNF Sugar Cube
Last but so very far from least of our animals (as well as the final lot of the sale) is this member of a very prepotent maternal line from the CCNF foundation herd. Both Sugar Cube’s dam, Sugar Snow, and her older sister, Sugar Drop (a Messiah daughter on her paternal side) are locked into…
