Springtime at Great Northern Ranch Part 2: LLAMA FUN
Dosier King (on left with Buckhorn) was here this weekend from Idaho. He helped with training hikes and shearing, as did Nancy Carpenter who went home with bags of fiber for her spinning, knitting and weaving projects. Earlier this week we did a ranch tour for nearly 100 preschoolers, parents and grandparents from Stillwater Christian School. Our grandson Liam (4) helped his dad with Buckhorn on a double lead.

Springtime at Great Northern Ranch Part 1: CRAZY WEATHER
We brought home Glacier Lilies from a warm and sunny late April hike. Delicious on salads, they are the first flowers to emerge when the snow melts in the mountains. A few days later, the ranch was covered with snow! This week's hail storm trashed much of our early garden and floral plantings. A neighbor's photo shows the storm over our ranch, at the base of the mountain on the far right. After the storm, turtles in one of our ponds were back out, sunbathing.

Congratulations to GNLC Bronto (CTF Renegade's Vigilante x GNLC Pink Martini), Champion Heavy Wool Male last weekend at Spring Showcase. He's shown here with new owners Kelsee Robinson and Austin Wright, Willowbrook Llama Farm, Indiana. Bronto's a chill guy, both inside and outside the show ring.
