Terena

Received 2 male alpaca over a decade ago from a show home. They added to my menagerie for educational visits to local schools and nursing homes. I learned to finger loom so I could use the fiber they made annually and use that as part of our educational tours. When they were both attacked and one was killed by a mountain lion my old male was left alone. I acquired several more alpaca (3 girls and a boy) from a neglect situation (they hadn't been shorn in over three years and their nails were twisted from overgrowth) and my lone old man had himself a herem. The girls dropped Crias within a month of my rescuing them, so my lone old man has a herem AND a family.
