The alpacas have cleaned up well and look all nice and fluffy again apart from the cria whose long fine fleeces seem to hold onto every bit of fallen hay and debris. It's funny but you can always tell the better fleeced cria this time of year. There the ones that look the biggest mess!
Our year has started with quite a dent in the herd as we delivered six girls and a boy to pastures new at the weekend.
It's always a mix of emotions at theese times between a healthy injection to the bank balance and parting with animals you have helped into the world and nurtured along the way.
That's the trouble with alpacas.Too damned adorable!
Well there they go, all safely installed with a new set of paddock pals.
Best wishes to Gwen & Ginni at Alpagwenn
Congratulations ..we'll look foward to celebrating your large sale with a large glass of fizz next time we get together! It is sad when our alpacas leave us, but they look to have moved to a lovely place. However...how could you sell the gorgeous Heidi...wish I'd piched her whilst you were away now, she's such a lovely girl!
