We got our Oklahoma cameras up and functioning today!  What a thrill -- and the end of  a very long saga.  Internet speeds in Oklahoma being what they are, it was tricky to get it set up so we could watch the alpacas.  But with some expertise from Josh at Digess, and a wonderful PTZ camera (that's "pan/tilt/zoom" to you and me) -- it's like being right at the farm.

The Diamond Digest is going to press this afternoon, so watch for your issue in the mail before Christmas (with a little luck).  We have a lot of fun with this newsletter, and this month feature Snuggler's Accoyo Brioni -- our newest, full Accoyo herdsire.  He is a true-to-type Accoyo like the ones imported by Don Julio:  density par excellence, strong white genetics, and a large macho conformation.  Watch for his offspring!  They will definitely impact the future of tomorrow's alpacas.

Is there any way for people to look at your alpaca video feed online? :-)

Yes, but there are some settings with Internet Explorer that I didn't write down. I will get them and email them to you. It is a blast to maneuver the camera around and watch the babies eating and playing. I get a real bang out of it! Thanks for commenting!
