"And the Creek did Rise"
We were caught in the middle of the severe flooding in northern Colorado
but were fortunate to escape flooding on the farm.
These views are from our barn and our entrance road. Whew.
Our little South Boulder Creek grew from a 12 foot wide, 30ci per minute creek
to 6000ci overnight
and became a 1/4 mile wide torrent. Although our area suffered severe property
damage,
all of our neighboring alpaca breeders came through without substantial losses
and people and alpacas are OK.

Our New Farm Assistants
We welcome our new manager of the farm side of the business, Nathan Styffe,
and my new partner in caring for the alpacas, Ashley Miller. Ashley's brother
Matt has been helping us on the farm for the past 7 years and is now a senior
in wildlife biology at CSU.
We want to thank Karen and Mike Dinnel for 3 years of great care of our
alpacas and wish them the best in their move.
With the price of hay here at $14 per small bale and realizing we need to mow
our 16 acres of irrigated pasture every week anyway, we decided to add "hay
farmer" to our resume this fall. Nathan, Dale and I stood by scribbling in our
notebooks as the local farm equipment guy explained how everything worked and
watched each of us make a wobbly "practice run" around the hay field. He was
very patient and didn't laugh when the first bales came out 12 inches long. I
think we've got it down now and look forward to a full cutting next week.
