29 degrees and Alpaca Shady Ladies in South Cerney August 8th 2015

I have so much to catch up on I am a month behind on blogging if not more. However, with the Accu Weather forecast today saying rain and 23 degrees, the reality being no rain and 29 degrees, I had to take these shots of some of the girls and some of the cria in varying fields, getting into the shade!

the shade of the field shelter and the shelters themselves are critical in all weathers for young and old Alpaca alike.

some will, some will not but they must have the facility and also water!

 

moving house and paddocks!

I cannot believe that August has snook in and it has been so long since I blogged. so much has been happening, so many changes in the weather, the last of the cria born and Alpaca gone to new homes too!

We have been moving paddocks onto fresh new grass and then flail topping the vacant fields after poovering. now they will be rested until they have new occupants. Weaning is not too far away. so that means Field Shelters moving too…

and finally our reticent stud boy has come into his own with “looove all around”

… only taken this boy two years to get going and now he wants to use the hot tub for his canoodling – no way!
