Preparation for new Barn 3\/26\/21
From Facebook<\/span><\/span>
“The alpacas stopped on the way in from the pasture to look around their yard. \u00a0They had a quizzical look on their face like they were thinking, “Wasn’t our house here just yesterday?” Indeed, it was. And soon a bigger and better one will be there for them.”<\/p>\r\n
