Wishing you and yours a very happy 2004! _______________________________________________________

2003 - A Year of Highs and Lows

The past year has been one of highs and lows for the entire U.S. as well as for our family and farm.  We entered the year with Steve deploying to the Middle East with the NC Air National Guard.  While we were thankful when Steve returned safely at the end of the summer, we faced the illness and death of Steve's father.   Megan has been in an international baccalaureate program and is receiving 15 college credits in her Junior year in high school; We are very proud of her academic accomplishments even though she has had to cut back on her alpaca time this year.  We are closing out the year with my (Erin's) departure from the corporate world to join the ranks of the full time alpaca farmers of America!  Five years ago, I set a goal to leave corporate world in seven years.  I am so thrilled to report that Steve has been a full time alpaca farmer (and NC Air Force Guardsman) for 2 years and I have been a full time alpaca farmer since December 5th, 2003 - two full years ahead of my goal! 

2004 - A Year of Great Anticipation

In all our years in the alpaca industry, we have never felt the pure excitement that is in the air as we enter 2004.  During 2003, I have had the honor of serving on the AOBA board of directors and as the chairperson of the AOBA national marketing committee.  Over the past several year, the industry has experienced phenomenal growth, and I feel like this year will be AOBA's turning point from being a small group of creative, independent, visionary entrepreneurs to becoming a true agricultural industry.  It is a very exciting time to be part of this great industry and wonderful community of people and amazing animals.

Travel Schedule ~ Winter 2004

After seven years of work running a full time career, a full time alpaca farm, and a full time household, I can finally take a tiny breather.  Rather than rushing back to work after the auction, I am going to spend 3 days at the Sundance Film Festival with my little sister, Amanda, and my best friend, Colette, to see the short film directed by Colette and enjoy my newfound freedom from corporate structure.  I think this is the alpaca lifestyle full of great travel that I have been whole-heartedly marketing all these years  :o)

BelleauWood Sales List

We have been blessed with a phenomenal year for sales and growth at BelleauWood Farms.  Over the coming weeks, I will be updating our sales pages, the ever-popular cria pages, and herdsire pages.  I am way behind.  Check in and see what is listed, but if you don't see what you are looking for, please contact us as we have many alpacas for sale that aren't yet listed. 

Featured Alpacas

Mother/Daughter Pair

White Star and MFI Ginger are a great pair offered at $23,500 for the pair ($13,000 for Ginger).  This is a great chance to get some top bloodlines at a nice price.  Ginger is a world class future production girl with amazing coverage.  She will do great things for some lucky farm one day.  She has inherited some great looks from her award winning sire, MFI Peruvian Logan and grandsire Accoyo Augusto.  Match her up with one of the young boys on the left for a great cria - Journey would be a great choice - the cria's pedigree would include Journey, Logan, Augusto, Millenium, Legacy, Mr. President, and Hemingway!
