We just dropped off Big Mount`s Nellie to her new farm, American Heritage Alpaca Farm in Elizabethtown, PA. We would like to thank Bert and Diana Ponterio for purchasing Nellie. She was one of our best girls and did very well in the show ring with 2 blue ribbons and 1 red ribbon. She will be missed but I am sure she will enjoy her new home!
