Casper is my FRIENDLY old gent who never gives me a moment of worry. He came to us 12 years ago and from what we can figure he was already 4 years old when we adopted him. He was slated for slaughter before I found him - who could kill such a gent? Sixteen years old is Fantastic for this gentle guy - his lock stucture is not that great but his sheen and soft handle is what I love. When I add his fiber to llama or wool- the halo effect is unbeliveable - takes dye like none other and produces tons each year. His quite manner sometimes can give you a fright - he is like a ghost when he moves around but his kind heart makes up for any scare. With each passing year he gets a little bit slower but don't we all - his kind heart never changes and for that I am truely blessed.

what is the "normal" lifespan of these guys? the names you choose are so perfect. i can tell that you dont just hand out a name even without the story of naming avery! peace connie
Fifteen years is stretching it for most - Most breeders never keep a male alive for more then three or four. As you can see I have some who are going to be 17 years old this winter.
He looks so regal in the bottom picture! I love the name Casper!
Your animals are so beautiful! You can tell by the pictures that they are so well taken care of!
