FIBER COLLECTION
We collected 72.6 lbs of Southern California “short/robust” fiber via Beckie Perrell of Loomis Alpacas, who delivered clean/sorted fiber from Julie Roy of Alpacas of Anza Valley and Cindy Hager of Heaven Can Wait Alpacas. Dave, Sandra and Beckie transferring fiber at I-5 turn off to Paso Robles on 12 July 2011
A truck load of fiber bags back at the ranch!
We met Ian Watt, President of SoCalpaca, to pick up more fiber sent by Cindy Mendiola of Critter Country Ranch and Julie Roy of Alpacas of Anza Valley.

Thanks to everyone helping us on this venture!
There are 17 California and 3 Arizona alpaca fiber producers“sorting for dollars” at the moment.
We’re in the process of inspecting and weighing bags today, while celebrating our 48th wedding anniversary!!!

Our local group of project supporters, the Paca Pals, entered the CA Mid State Fair Community Display Booth competition and we won first place!
