How time flies, summer is here and we have 2 new cria on the ground. Onyx, like clockwork, gave us Sophie on June 12th, one day after her due date.
We were very excited to see For information about our alpacas click on the picture
all the gray in her fiber when she
was shorn last week. Eight days later Daddy's Girl gave us a true black boy born June 20th, Father's Day. It seemed to be fate, since the name we had chosen was MacArthur, Helen's deceased step-father's last name. He was born with a ton of crimpy black fiber. Both cria are happy and healthy, and have taken over the barn always looking for someone to play with. Suzanna will be giving us our last cria in August.
Helen and I have been busy building fence and finishing up all those little jobs that never seem to get done. Of course the best laid plans have been slowed down due to Karen breaking her wrist. Work is still going on, but just a bit slower.
Well I guess we can now be considered real alpaca farmers, since we did our first breeding by ourselves last week. Our 2 Herd Sires (co-owned with Thunder Bay) came to our farm last week-end for the Southern Tier Alapca meeting. They will be here again next week for the next six months. We have decided to offer a limited time breeding special to Freestyle and Zeke. Drive-by breeding will be $1250 and a Boarded breeding will be $1500. Giive us a call and take advantage of this special today.

November 2009The barn is done and we moved our herd home on October 18, 2009. It has been a lot of hard work, but the barn is beautiful and so functional. Many thanks go out to my brothers, Ron and Dave, who are my right hand men!
We designed and built our barn during the summer of 2008 and spring/summer of 2009. Many long hours and hard work have paid off. We are so happy to have our animals home.
Our farm is nestled in the hills of south central New York. Although we are only three miles off a major interstate our beautiful log cabin sets peacefully on 18.5 country acres.
We have only been in the business for a little over 2 year, and have been fortunate to meet and be mentored by two established alpaca farm owners. Thunder Bay and Ideuma Creek Alpaca Farms have shared their wealth of knowledge, and allowed us to “literally” get our hands dirty learning how to take care of our animals. We have learned very quickly that alpaca farming is mostly about the animals, but also the wonderful people you meet and the relationships you form.
Although, Log Cabin Alpacas is a small farm it has big linage. Our herd consist of high quality, full Peruvian, and Accoyo females bred to a wonderful selection of herdsires including Zephyrson (son of Peruvian Zephyrus) and Thunder Bolt (son of PCA Accoyo Shangri La).
We hope to see you again!

There's much more to come!
