What's New at PFO

2011 was a great year for Fallen Oak. We did outstanding in the show ring. Bella, Amarula, Shoshone & Zuni received many Grands and Reserves in Halter. We also started to show in Walking Fiber classes and took championships from each show. 

Both Shoshone & Lakota qualified or received their ALSA Halter Champions & Amarula was National Class Champion! 

Argentine Navajo Traveler became part of our herd.

We acquired two Suris for a future breeding program to our Argentine boys.

In July... well we done it... picked up two Suri females from the McRobert's Ranch. We are going to try an Argentine/Suri cross but expect to see them at the Shows until WE feel that they are old enough to breed.

In June we bid farewell to Arg. Drambuie (he went to Minnesota) and welcomed Arg. Navajo Traveler (formerly Arg. Nemesio) The exchange was made at the Field of Dreams Sale in Nebraska.

February 1st & 10th found the both of us helping out in the delivery of 33 llamas at U.C Davis. These llamas were just a few of the llamas rescued from Montana Large Animal Sanctuary. 

We acquired two gelding alpacas in Jan. 2011. Now we can show people when asked "what is the difference between a Llama and an Alpaca?'

2011 is starting off well! Lakota has now Officially received his ALSA Halter Championship.
