Feed Back from Clients

Periodically, we ask our clients for comments on "how we can make things work better for them." Here is a letter we just got from a client (and friends) in Alaska for whom we care for their alpacas. It feels good to hear that our hard work is making a difference. And, remember to visit us and other quality ranches who support this blog--Enchanted Acres Ranch --Yakima River Alpacas --Pedro's Pride Ranch --Pedro's Pride Fashions --Alpaca Products (Wholesale to Ranch Stores).

"We really do not have anything more to suggest—you have a very tidy operation. It is obvious by how you have done your barn and your pastures and your fan system, that you are meeting the needs of the animals, whether it has to do with their comfort, ie heat issues in the summer, or their proper separation, in terms of separating males from females, aggressive animals from those who are less aggressive, etc. You have done a nice job of expanding your pastures to meet those needs.

The animals themselves are well cared for—you can just tell by looking at them, their demeanor, etc. One way that I could always tell how much alpaca owners cared for their animals was the nail situation. It was amazing to me how many did not pay attention to this detail!! You folks are now to the point where you can walk out into the pasture and pick up on stuff that just does not look right, and that means that you can really read the animals.

We are very appreciative of how you take care of the animals—we often say, Ken and Lisa take care of them as we would take care of them—we are very pleased that our animals are in such good hands. "

Keep in touch and start thinking about next year's breedings. There are some great herdsires out there whom you have never heard about. More on that topic later.

All my best, Ken
