We did build the stand and did some english fencing

For more details look at photos at facebook.

After a long hard day of work. We have a superstand at the fair - Heerlijkheid Marienwaerdt (Beesd)

Crushed two vans of ours today... The first accident was with our new bus (only 2500 km on it). And secondly I bumped with my Kubota into Marieke's van... SHIT!

NEVER HAD AN ACCIDENT IN 21 YEARS. NOW 2 ACCIDENTS IN 1 DAY.

Something with the figures? Just bad luck? No less sleep and to much in a hurry...!

Agriculture fair Marienwaerdt in Beesd

From 18 - 22 august we are present at the agriculture (farm) fair Marienwaerdt in Beesd. It is really beautifull fair. We are there with the alpacas and all possible products of them...

Marieke is doing a parcours with kids and alpacas (twice a day). So could be funny...!

See you,

We saw a comet

A girl of Comet II of Bozedown alpacas was born today.

The mother had her first cria. And she was really protective. Nice mother. Superfather. I really liked his fleece. And he has a beautifull conformation (he was supreme champion at several shows).

We had to help the cria out, because it only showed her head (without the legs). So I had to stretch them out... Then it became easy for the mother to deliver!

She was standing and drinking within 15 minutes...

Have a nice weekend,

Leo

First matings and watching monkeys do their job...

At 29th of july Veerle my eldest became 11 years... She got a "triker" bike from her mom and dad! What a lot of fun. Too bad they don't have them in an larger one... (for daddy).
My eldest brother!

All the kids on a polar (ice)-bear....

Yesterdayafternoon we had our first day off since a month....! So we went with our kids and some extra, ha, ha... to the Zoo. It is the Zoo where one of my assistants worked for 10 years before she decided to come to us (our familyhouse is also a little zoo).

The kids where more interested in the playgarden then in the animals. So a lot of time for us to sit down and rest. Stayed till closingtime in the zoo (we were late 13.00 h) there... (another client/patient) who wanted help in the morning was the cause! But no worries, we just still till the END in the zoo.

When we arrived home we had some kids (friends of my eldest daughter) for a sleepingparty ... Furthermore we did the first matings with Lysander (last evening). He did well. We had to use a experienced stud to stimulate him in the first place. But he got in... (hmmm... I think that's no good English).

No other cria yet. Thought an old lady (alpaca) would deliver this moring, because she was very restless last night. But nothing to see yet...

See you later, have a nice weekend,

the young ones...

My little boy (Harrit) and my little girl (Lieke) with our new little cria boy .... (no name yet)

Since the last blog...! We lost the final due to an Englishmen... Spain didn't play better. I didn't quit understand the Judge Webb. He isn't very popular in The Netherlands.

In the mean time whe had some crias. There was for example a brown little girl of Bozedown Kazzan. The mother doesn't have a good fleece but her cria looks nice. Furthermore we had a very beautiful male cria. Mostly it is "not another boy". But this one is really welcome. You can immediatly see it's fleece becomes very nice. He is totally superwhite with a very long fleece. His father is Chicago of Bozedown and his mother's Father is Olympus of Bozedown. The both of them already won Supereme Championships in 2009/2010.

The mother is one of our best females...

So maybe this becomes a futher stud for us... (but we have to see).

Ok. The Worldcup...! Finally we in The Final again.

Hopefully we could win. Spain played a supergame against Germany.

We will see. If so..., then everything and everybody will turn orange in The Netherlands. Trying to paint / color the alpacas as well (just kidding).

We are still waiting for our first cria. This month (and august) we expect 6 cria.

See you...

Wow..... Goal!!!!

Goals against Brasil
