CONGRATULATIONS TO
SNOWSTORM’S NEW OWNERS
Curt and Nancy Gedney of Hummingherd Alpacas on their purchase
of our interest in our impact herdsire, EastWind’s Snowstorm.
Our Herdsire Row boast 2 of his champion sons,
Xanadu P Adorno & Xanadu P Aristide & Xanadu P Corsair, his up and coming
grandson, sired by Road Warrior.
Snowstorm has been a tremendous building block for our program and we know
he’ll continue to have a large impact on the US industry.
EastWind’s Snowstorm
AND WELCOME A NEW CHAMPION TO OUR
FAWN LINEUP
We first fell in love with PC Running Late when
Phil Mizrahie brought him to the AAA Futurity as a juvenile and he took Color
Champion.
He’s the son of Peruvian import, Accoyo Titan & 4
Peruvian Mona, making him a fresh pedigree for us and most olther breeders.
We’ll co-own him with Magical Farms
where he’s been a star for over 9 years.
He’ll be working at Xanadu beginning October 15th this year
and will be with us from September through December each year.
Book your breedings now.

Xanadu Farm Approach to Pastures and
Paddocks
Part 2
Waterers, Fencing & Inside Space
Waterers: In Colorado we need heated waterers and the Nelson waterers
have been the most reliable.
Each is installed on top of a 4’ long, insulated concrete pipe, flared at the
top.
Each is on a fence line or corner with the opening framed in so 2 or 3 pens
can share one waterer.
We’ve included a standpipe, mister, electric outlets and a safety gate.
Waterer Serving 3 Paddocks
Fencing: We use 2” x 1” woven wire, locally called
“no climb”. The mesh size avoids heads and legs getting stuck.
All interior fences are 4’ high on 10’ center wooden posts, and perimeter
fences and the herdsire paddock fences are 5’.
Our common predators are coyotes and occasionally domestic dogs, and we rely
on the combination of fencing
and our Maremma guard dogs for protection.
Perimeter fencing is nailed on the inside (alpaca side) of the posts to make
mowing easier.
We use “kiwi” latches that we’ve modified by welding a bar onto them and also
use the 2 point fixed latches.

Flexible Inside Space: Except for a birthing stall,
the inside of our barn is open.
We use lightweight panels to divide the space into a variety of pens as we
need them.
We’ve put “O” rings into the walls to anchor them, and they’re easily moved
and secured.
When there not being used they store on the wall out of the way.
