A trip to Alpaca Magic

Today we took Nellie to Alpaca Magic for a mating with Manfredo - all went well.  Loading Nellie into the trailer was physcially demanding, but we got her in there!!

We brought Tiana Rose and Vynka Lee home with us, so Nellie had company for the return journey.  Both of these girls are pregnant, Tiana Rose was in quite nervous state when we got home, so I hope she hasnt pulled the plug on the cria - only time will tell.

Had a nice time chatting to llamas and alpacas and donkey foals - so very very cute and cuddly!!

In the young boys paddock I tracked down Midsummer's last cria, a boy who is the colour of blueberry yoghurt, with a few raspberries thrown in for good measure, a really pretty colour.



I was so busy looking at and photographing the alpaca boys that I didnt notice I drawn quite a crowd of llamas behind me!!


 The boy on the left, at the front, bears a strong resemblance to Freddie, wonder if he is also a Manfredo son.


Crias are so cute!!  The little dark girl in the middle is Jessie's and a bit pre-mature, ears are taped to make them straight, but legs and pasterns look good :)
