Visit to Marquam Hill Ranch

A ride in the country on Saturday.  Following the Marion Farm Loop, a brochure describing local rural businesses.  Didn't hit every stop.  Some were closed due to the virus.  The highlight of the trip, though, was Marquam Hill Ranch, only about 10 miles from our house.  Randa and I spent about an hour listening to a young lady who has worked there since December and has learned a great deal.  Alpacas are easier to handle than Llamas, due to size and temperament, and better fleece .  Alpaca and Llamas do not have lanolin in their fleece so it is better and far more valuable.
Here are some photos I took.  It was a good day.
