Our Staff 

Our Staff is comprised of some rather outstanding members, all of whom are totally dedicated to their tasks.  Each has their given responsibility and each takes that responsibility seriously.

Without their very vital contribution to the smooth operation of this farm, we would not be able to manage.

Powder Puff Pacas proudly presents Our Staff............

Alexander

Alexander is a real cutie, don't you think?  He's a dark brown gelding, born in October of 2003.  He was purchased as a "pet quality" or "companion" animal, which means he won't be entering into our breeding program.  Instead we use him as our ambassador.

Alex's job is to keep our animals company when they are traveling so no-one gets lonely.  We sometimes use him to help guide our weanlings through the weaning process.  He has also proven himself time and again in helping visitors and newcomers learn the ropes around here and settle in.

 Boris

This striking dude is a "mini"-llama, purchased to assist in guarding the alpacas.  Yes indeed, llamas are frequently used to guard herd animals.

Boris is a strapping lad and takes his guard role very seriously.  He keeps those extra long ears at attention to listen for any potential dangers to the herd.  If he believes there is a real danger, he herds everybody up to the middle of the pasture and places himself between the suspected foe and herd.  He also sleeps directly in the doorway to the barn every night so no one and nothing can get past him.

Iris

I guess if Iris has a role to play around our farm, it's to eat weeds and leaves!  We never have a build up of dead leaves along our pasture fences since Iris came on the scene.  Fortunately, she prefers weeds to the pasture grasses, so she blends in well with our herd.

We're saddened to say she lost one of her waddles (the small dangling things on her neck) to an abscess.  But that's okay, because her goatee is making up for it!

She's a very determined lady, and she certainly keeps us in stitches!
