Alpaca & Muscovy

Snow at Kensmyth, Clay Meadow, Cirencester – it did arrive here

Well I cannot show you photos of Alpaca covered in snow because we simply do not have any! our Alpaca – gee it took some doing – were all barned overnight to protect them… not just because there is no lanolin (nearly none) in their fleece which would let the wet through but also to protect their feet which like pads need to get dry.

 

from the very very young to the very very old – everyone here stayed dry!

livestock farming is 24/7 365 days a year and here “paca watch” shows through last nights downfall on camera!

but it IS beautiful – 3 inches – snowing all day and 8 inches in drifts!
